             HONORING BILL AND MURIEL ELLIOTT AND DREW KATZ

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 14, 2007

  Mr. ANDREWS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. and Mrs. Bill 
and Muriel Elliot for their hard work in creating the John R. Elliott 
HERO Campaign, which promotes the use of designated drivers. The HERO 
Campaign, named after their late son, Navy Ensign John Elliot of Egg 
Harbor Township, NJ, began in 2000 when he was killed by a drunk 
driver.
  I also rise to honor Mr. Drew Katz of the Interstate Outdoor 
Advertising Company of Cherry Hill, NJ. Mr. Katz graciously offered 
assistance to the Elliott family by providing billboard space to 
promote the HERO campaign. Partnered together, the Elliott family and 
Mr. Katz are helping to make the roads a safer place for all New 
Jerseyans. The Elliot family's commitment to their son and to this 
cause is truly inspirational. I also thank Mr. Katz for his generosity 
and commitment to his community.
  The Elliott family and Mr. Katz's commitment to the John R. Elliott 
HERO Campaign has served New Jersey well, and I hope that they continue 
their vital efforts. I thank the Elliot family and Mr. Katz and wish 
them success with the HERO Campaign in the future.
