HONORING CONGRESSMAN FRANK J. GUARINI
(Mr. MENENDEZ asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, we are here today to honor Congressman
Frank J. Guarini, who passed away on Saturday, June 20, at the age of
101.
As a distinguished World War II veteran, Congressman Guarini's
service to our country began at a young age.
He continued that service in the New Jersey State Senate, passing
groundbreaking environmental protection laws and bringing the Giants to
New Jersey.
In Congress, he represented his beloved Jersey City where he was born
and raised. In over 14 years in the House, he set a standard that we
all aspire to today.
Congressman Guarini built a remarkable record on trade, international
affairs, education, housing, and environmental protection, all while
never losing sight of his community and the people he fought for every
day of his distinguished career.
After retiring from the House and serving as U.S. Representative to
the General Assembly of the United Nations, Congressman Guarini
dedicated himself to the revitalization of Jersey City and
philanthropy, both missions in which he achieved great success and left
a lasting impact.
He leaves behind a legacy that will not be forgotten by the countless
people whose lives he touched in his eight decades of service.
Mr. Speaker, now it is my honor to invite the House for a moment of
silence for our colleague and friend Congressman Frank Guarini.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair invites all Members in the Chamber
to stand and observe a moment of silence.
