  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Jeffrey Mattison of 
Franklin Township, New Jersey for his distinguished tenure as the 
Executive Director of The Arc of Hunterdon County. The Arc of Hunterdon 
County is a non-profit agency dedicated to helping individuals with 
intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.
  Under Jeff's leadership The Arc has expanded to now provide permanent 
residences to more than 100 individuals and additional services to 
daily residents and family members. Jeff's service included 12 years on 
the board shaping the direction of the organization. Jeff has also 
enjoyed a 28-year career in commercial lending, working for several 
Hunterdon County community banks.
  Jeff's commitment to community service is also highlighted by his 
leadership roles with the New Jersey Bankers Association, Builders 
Association of Northwest New Jersey, Rotary Club of Flemington and the 
United Way of Hunterdon County. I congratulate Jeff for being 
recognized by the Raritan Township Republican Club with its Outstanding 
Community Service Award.
