                       Tuesday, February 3, 2004

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I have the 
opportunity to recognize an outstanding individual, John L. 
Winterstella, for a remarkable career of public service. Throughout his 
life, Mayor Winterstella has devoted himself to working for the people 
of his community, through serving not only as an elected official, but 
participating on a wide variety of boards and charities.
  Mr. Winterstella began his career in the early 1970's working with 
the Environmental Commission and the Planning Board in the borough of 
Manasquan, the latter of which he continues to tirelessly serve. He was 
elected as a Manasquan councilman from 1977 through 1981, and was 
subsequently elected Mayor of the borough in 1984.
  During his tenure as Mayor, John Winterstella has served on the 
Monmouth Community Development Block Grant Committee from 1984 until 
the present, served as the Commissioner on the Sewage Authority from 
1990 to 1999, and also served on the Executive Board of the New Jersey 
League of Municipalities from 1990 to 1998. The Mayor served as 
President of that League from 1997-1998, and was enshrined in the 
League's Hall of Fame in the year 2000. In addition to keeping his busy 
schedule, Mayor

Winterstella has testified before the Senate and Congress on the topic 
of clean air and water reform, subjects close to his heart.
  A career such as this merits strong praise, so Mr. Speaker, I would 
like to extend my dearest gratitude to Mayor Winterstella for his 
indelible service to the people of Monmouth County and the borough of 
Manasquan. In addition, I would like to ask my colleagues to join me in 
honoring a personal friend for a storied career that has positively 
shaped the lives of all people whom he has served.
