              RECOGNITION OF DR. DWIGHT CRIST NORTHINGTON

 Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize Dr. 
Dwight Crist Northington on the occasion of his 9th Pastoral 
Anniversary at Calvary Baptist Church in Red Bank, New Jersey. Dr. 
Northington is an extremely gifted individual, and it is an honor to 
recognize this special moment in his life.
  Dr. Northington has served the citizens of New Jersey since 1986, 
when he was named Pastor of First Baptist Church of South Orange. Since 
that time, he has also served as president of Westside Ministerial 
Alliance and currently serves as the Moderator of the Seacoast 
Missionary Baptist Association. While having done a great deal for the 
community of Red Bank, Dr. Northington has also served as an instructor 
at Brookdale Community College and as a member of the Borough of Red 
Bank Board of Education.
  The needs of our Nation can only be met through the industrious 
efforts of each individual. The work of Dr. Northington and others like 
him is vital to the continued prosperity of our communities and meeting 
the needs of people who live within them.
  The citizens of Red Bank are fortunate to have a talented and 
dedicated individual such as Dr. Northington in their 
community.
