                       Tuesday, December 4, 2001

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Catherine Todd for 
her years of service on behalf of public housing residents in Hudson 
County, New Jersey. On Friday, December 7, 2001, the Jersey City Tenant 
Affairs Board will honor Ms. Todd at their December Board Meeting. This 
tribute will take place at the Montgomery Gardens housing complex in 
Jersey City, New Jersey.
  For nearly 50 years, Catherine Todd has worked to improve the 
standard of living for public housing residents in Hudson County. Since 
1978, she has served as the Chairperson of the Montgomery Gardens 
Tenant Management Corporation in Jersey City. As Chairperson, she 
supervises the entire Montgomery Gardens Tenant Management staff and 
manages their operating budget. During her tenure as Chairperson, she 
has initiated a day care center service and developed an afterschool 
program for neighborhood children.
  As a result of her extensive experience in the public housing sector, 
Catherine Todd has served as a consultant to the U.S. Department of 
Housing and Urban Development and numerous other resident management 
associations. Currently, she serves as the Resident Management 
Coordinator for the Newark Housing Authority and continues to offer 
advice and guidance to various resident management firms.
  A graduate of Ferris High School, Catherine Todd is also an alumnus 
of Hudson County Community College.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Catherine Todd for 
her years of distinguished service on behalf of public housing 
residents in Hudson County, New Jersey.
