                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, December 20, 2004

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Nancy Kist for her 
outstanding leadership and contributions to her community. Ms. Kist was 
honored as a distinguished alumna at the Harvest Ball Sixth Annual 
Saint Dominic Academy Gala on November 13, 2004, in Lincoln Park, New 
Jersey.
  Throughout the years, Ms. Kist has served the citizens of Bayonne in 
a variety of capacities. She has contributed greatly to the city's 
development by serving as general counsel of the Bayonne Local 
Redevelopment Authority and as a member of the law department. Among 
other accomplishments, Ms. Kist was instrumental in the redevelopment 
of the Military Ocean Terminal, which has become the Peninsula at 
Bayonne Harbor. She continues to play a leadership role as the current 
executive director of the Bayonne Local Redevelopment Authority, and is 
known for pursuing all her professional endeavors with enthusiasm and a 
passion for improving the well-being of the community.
  A graduate of Saint Dominic Academy, Ms. Kist developed an early 
interest in civic affairs and was vice president of the student 
government in school.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Nancy Kist for her 
years of dedication to serving the people and city of Bayonne, New 
Jersey.
