                      IN HONOR OF DR. JIM SINCLAIR

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 30, 2005

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Jim Sinclair, 
P.E., who is the first Vice President of the New Jersey Business and 
Industry Association and Executive Director of the New Jersey Policy 
Research Organization.
  Dr. Sinclair is a dutiful public servant who has acted as Director of 
Redevelopment for the City of Trenton, Chairman of the New Jersey 
Housing Finance Authority, and Deputy Commissioner of the New Jersey 
Department of Community Affairs, among other notable positions. His 
sense of civic duty, however, extends beyond the government. As a 
former Executive Assistant to the Commissioner of

the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, as a member of 
the Governor's Brownfield Taskforce, and as founder of the New Jersey 
Watershed Alliance, Dr. Sinclair has shown that his fervor for business 
does not come at the expense of a healthy environment. His efforts 
stand as a guiding example that a coexisting relationship between 
businesses and the environment can genuinely exist without adversely 
affecting either entity.
  Mr. Speaker, I am truly pleased that the New Jersey Business and 
Industry Association and the New Jersey Policy Research Organization 
have chosen to elevate Dr. Jim Sinclair to such prestigious positions 
within their respective organizations. Therefore, I ask my fellow 
members of Congress to join me today in honoring and recognizing a man 
who rises up from among his peers and stands firm for the protection of 
our natural heritage.
