                      Wednesday, October 12, 2011

  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of Mayor 
Frank Salvato of Warren, New Jersey. Frank was a lifelong resident of 
Warren Township, in the heart of Somerset County, where he owned and 
operated a farm for over forty years.
  Frank held the record as New Jersey's longest serving elected 
official. During his 60 years of public service Frank served five terms 
as Mayor of Warren and was a member of the Township Committee for 
eleven terms. Frank also served on the Board of Adjustment, the Board 
of Health, the Planning Board and the Recreation, Police, Roads, 
Finance, Environment and Senior Citizens Boards. He was a 50-year 
Charter member of the Warren Lions Club and served on the Watchung 
Hills Regional High School Board of Education for 27 years, including 
seven years as its president.
  Today I rise to share Frank's tremendous accomplishments and 
dedicated public service with the House of Representatives. I extend my 
sincere condolences to his wife, Aldona, and his family and my deep 
gratitude to Frank for his lifetime of service and leadership.
