                         HONORING HENRY Y. KUHL

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New 
Jersey (Mr. Lance) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the dedicated 
public service of the Honorable Henry Y. Kuhl, a great patriot, family 
patriarch, public servant, businessman, and close friend, who for 35 
years has served as chairman of the Hunterdon County Republican 
Committee. Henry will retire from his position this June, leaving a 
legacy that will stand the test of time in the history of New Jersey.
  Henry's love of country, our State, and Hunterdon County has served 
as the foundation of his beliefs and his devotion to our system of 
government in the United States, based on faith in God, respect for the 
individual, self-reliance, free enterprise, and service to the larger 
community.
  Henry's record as Republican county chairman is unparalleled. During 
his distinguished tenure, he has led an organization that has been 
overwhelmingly successful in producing winning majorities for Federal, 
State, county, and municipal candidates.
  Henry has also been a delegate to 10 Republican National Conventions, 
helping shape the direction of our party under the leadership of 
Presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush.
  I have known Henry my entire life. He is a respected mentor and ally, 
and our families' paths have crossed for more than a century. His late 
father, Paul Kuhl, and my late father, Wesley L. Lance, were lifelong 
friends.
  Henry's devotion to public service has been matched by his devotion 
to his family, church, community, and business. He and his beloved late 
wife, Elsa, raised two fine sons, who today are raising, with their 
spouses, their own families.
  A dedicated member of the Flemington Presbyterian Church, Henry has 
been involved in many charitable endeavors. He is a proud alumnus of 
Flemington High School and Rider University. His family's business, 
Kuhl Corporation, is a world leader in manufacturing egg washing and 
other patented equipment, based on the agricultural heritage of 
Hunterdon County and of the Kuhl family.
  When the Hunterdon County Republican Committee reorganizes following 
the June primary election, Henry will assume the role of chairman 
emeritus and continue to advance the causes to which he has dedicated 
his life.
  My wife, Heidi Rohrbach, joins me in thanking the Honorable Henry Y. 
Kuhl for his service to Hunterdon County and the State of New Jersey. I 
know that he will be an esteemed leader for many years to come, based 
on the great tradition of the American people: friend helping friend, 
neighbor helping neighbor, citizen helping citizen.
