                  IN RECOGNITION OF ANTHONY BENEDETTI

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 5, 2005

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to rise today to 
honor a man who has spent 37 years of his life representing the 
interests of working men and women in Central New Jersey.
  Anthony Benedetti, on June 1, 2005, retires as Financial Secretary 
and Treasurer of the Sheetmetal Workers International Association Local 
27.
  For the last several decades, Anthony Benedetti has unselfishly 
represented the Sheetmetal Workers International Association. His 
outstanding work and leadership have served as a guide to other 
employees throughout the years. It is doubtful that the Sheetmetal 
Workers International Association would have functioned the same way 
without his tireless efforts.
  I want to offer Mr. Benedetti my congratulations and thanks for his 
outstanding career of service. It is with men like Anthony Benedetti 
that our nation's labor movement is such a huge success. He will be 
deeply missed.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my sincere hope that my colleagues will join me in 
honoring and recognizing Anthony Benedetti as a determined and 
exceptional worker who affected the lives of many people.

                          ____________________
