  HONORING THE CENTRAL NEW JERSEY CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR 
                          INDUSTRIAL SECURITY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE FERGUSON

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 16, 2004

  Mr. FERGUSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Central New 
Jersey Chapter of the American Society for Industrial Security on their 
25th Anniversary. In 1979 a group of ASIS members chaired by Douglas 
Goode convened to form the Central New Jersey Chapter which has now 
grown to include over 300 members who represent the public and private 
sectors of the Security Industry.
  ASIS is the preeminent organization for security professionals, with 
more than 33,000 members worldwide. Founded in 1955, the organization 
is dedicated to increasing the effectiveness and productivity of 
security professionals by developing educational programs on broad and 
specific security concerns. ASIS also advocates the role and value of 
the security management profession to business, the media, government 
entities, and the public.
  I commend all the members of the Central New Jersey Chapter of ASIS 
for their tireless work concerning the state of security in Central New 
Jersey. Their efforts are an excellent reflection on ASIS international 
and make Central New Jersey a safer place for those who live and work 
there.
