                        Tuesday, March 10, 2009

  Mr. LANCE. Madam Speaker, I rise in honor of National Women's History 
Month, and I would like to congratulate a number of outstanding women 
who will be recognized at the Somerset County's Commission on the 
Status of Women awards in New Jersey's Seventh Congressional District.
  The Commission presents awards annually in celebration of National 
Women's History Month in March. This year there are 17 women being 
honored, including entrepreneurs, educators and hometown heroes whose 
community service is considered extraordinary.
  This year's Education Award winner is Carole Payne of Boonton. Carole 
serves as the school nurse at Crim School. Carole helps develop health 
policies and procedures in the Bridgewater-Raritan School District. The 
New Jersey Department of Health asked her to come up with a manual on 
emergency care in the school setting for school nurses.
  Carole is a certified EMT and active on the Boonton First Aid Squad. 
She also teaches at Beth Israel Medical Center in Newark and won the 
distinguished Johnson & Johnson School Nurse Fellowship.
  I am pleased to congratulate Carole Payne for her outstanding efforts 
and share her good work with my colleagues in the United States 
Congress and the American people.
