                 IN RECOGNITION OF JOHN A. HOFFMAN ESQ.

 Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. President, it is my pleasure to rise today 
to recognize John A. Hoffman Esq., a lifelong resident of central New 
Jersey, as the Woodbridge Metro Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the 
Year. John has participated in numerous business, legal, and community 
affairs for more than 35 years and has established a remarkable record 
of success.
  Mr. Hoffman joined the firm of Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer in 1963, 
and is currently a managing partner. He represents major corporate and 
government clients such as PSE&G, Verizon New Jersey, Inc., Elizabeth 
Town Water Company, the Middlesex County Utilities Authority, and the 
New Jersey Performing Arts Center. John also serves as a member on 
several boards such as the Middlesex County College Foundation, Robert 
Wood Johnson University Hospital Foundation, Sister Cities Program of 
New Brunswick, and the New Jersey Client Security Fund. John has 
devoted his life to the practice of law and has used his experience and 
vision to lead and advise several other institutions in New Jersey. It 
is his extensive service to these institutions and their continued 
success that our State of New Jersey owes a great debt of gratitude.
  It is an honor to recognize Mr. Hoffman's work and extend my 
congratulations to him on receiving the 2000 Citizen of the Year Award 
from the Woodbridge Metro Chamber of Commerce.
