           PETER R. STROHM JOINS MANTOLOKING BOROUGH COUNCIL

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 1, 2006

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, January 2, Peter R. Strohm was 
sworn in as a new member of the Mantoloking Borough Council. Joining 
him in taking the oath of office for a three-year term was incumbent 
John H. Jones.
  As the only Democrat on the seven member council, Mr. Strohm will be 
bringing a bipartisan spirit, years of legal experience and a desire to 
work long hours on behalf of the approximately 500 residents of 
Mantoloking, NJ, a beautiful, historic seashore community.
  He is a principal in the law firm of Rothstein, Mandell, Strohm, Must 
& Gertner in Lakewood, NJ, in which he has practiced for 35 years. He 
serves and chairs a number of committees of the Ocean County Bar 
Association and of the New Jersey Supreme Court, including probate, 
chancery, and judicial appointments. In 2000, he received the 
Professionalism Award from the New Jersey State Bar Association.
  He served in the past as an adjunct professor of law at Georgian 
Court University in Lakewood, NJ, and from 1968 to 1996, in the U.S. 
Army Reserve, from which he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel.
  Mr. Strohm received degrees from Washington & Lee, Columbia 
University School of Law, New York University School of Law, and the 
United States Command and General Staff College of Fort Leavenworth, 
Kansas.
  I congratulate Mr. Strohm and Mr. Jones as they begin their terms in 
office. Although Mantoloking is a small community, it is busy tackling 
large problems, such a beach erosion, bridge construction and 
protection of the fragile seashore environment. I look forward to 
working with them and their county, state and federal representatives 
on these critical issues.
