                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 9, 2011

  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate William Vince of 
Bernardsville, New Jersey. This year Mr. Vince is celebrating the 50th 
anniversary of his dealership, VIP Honda, which is located in North 
Plainfield, New Jersey.
  VIP Honda was founded by Mr. Vince and he continues to own and 
operate it to this day in the heart of the Seventh Congressional 
District. VIP Honda has been praised by customers for ``making car 
buying stress-free,'' and it has consistently met the standards of 
excellence Honda and consumers expect. One customer said, ``I would 
recommend VIP Honda to any of my family and friends.'' VIP Honda was 
among the first Honda automobile dealerships in the Nation, and its 
success paralleled that of Honda automobiles across the country.
  From the beginning, Mr. Vince shared his success by giving back to 
the community. Mr. Vince is constantly ready to lend a helping hand to 
the community and has consistently proven his willingness to help 
throughout the years. His support for local police and fire departments 
shows his dedication to our public servants, and his involvement in 
community-wide events has been well documented throughout the years. 
Mr. Vince is also involved in a variety of charitable, nonprofit and 
other worthwhile organizations, for which I commend him.
  Mr. Vince will be 87 on March 17. I am pleased to congratulate him 
and his dealership on their achievements throughout the years.
