        HONORING FORMER PUTNAM COUNTY EXECUTIVE PAUL J. ELDRIDGE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. NAN A.S. HAYWORTH

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 15, 2011

  Ms. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Paul J. Eldridge 
for his service as County Executive for Putnam County.
  Mr. Eldridge was appointed by the Putnam County Legislature in 
November 2010 to serve until a special election could be held to fill 
the position. Mr. Eldridge confirmed the wisdom of his selection, 
serving with honor and distinction during a difficult period. His 
service as County Executive was the culmination of 33 years as a public 
servant for Putnam County, during which Mr. Eldridge has received 
numerous awards and honors for his work.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize the Honorable Paul J. 
Eldridge. New York's Nineteenth Congressional District, and the entire 
Hudson Valley, is fortunate to have benefited from his service.
