                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 7, 2004

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Frank Carine, Jr., 
for his outstanding public service and demonstrated commitment to 
community participation and leadership. He was named the 2004 Honoree 
of the Year by the Sicilian Citizens Club on October 23, 2004, in 
Bayonne, NJ.
  Mr. Carine has dedicated more than 27 years of his life to law 
enforcement. His service includes time on the municipal, county, and 
federal law enforcement teams. For the past 18 years, he has worked 
with the U.S. Department of Justice and Drug Enforcement Agency and is 
currently a Supervisory Special Agent in the Newark, NJ, division.
  Within the law enforcement community, Mr. Carine has established 
himself as an exceptional leader as a three-term president of the 
Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, New Jersey Chapter 2. His 
leadership abilities are also clearly demonstrated through his 
positions as vice-president of the Nicholas Capodice Association, 
secretary for the Holy Family Father Club, executive board member of 
the Sicilian Citizens Club, and chairman and co-chairman of fundraisers 
for the Boy Scouts of America.
  In addition to his years of public service, Mr. Carine has 
contributed his time and energy to helping others, including coaching 
Bayonne youth soccer teams. His extensive community involvement 
includes being a third degree member of the Knights of Columbus Council 
371, as well as a member of the Italian American Police Society of New 
Jersey, the Federal Agents PBA local 121, and the Honor Legion of the 
Police Departments of New Jersey. In addition, he serves on the Annual 
Blue Mass Committee for the Archdiocese of Newark and the Hudson 
Liberty District Committee.
  Mr. Carine was born and raised in Bayonne, New Jersey. He received 
his bachelor's degree in criminal justice from New Jersey City 
University (formerly Jersey City State College) and graduated from the 
New Jersey State Police Academy in Sea Girt, NJ, and the DEA/FBI 
Academy in Quantico, VA.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Frank Carine, Jr., 
for his years of dedicated service to law enforcement and his 
significant contributions to the community.
