             HONORING REVEREND DR. KENNETH L. SAUNDERS, SR.

 Mr. CORZINE. Mr. President, I want to bring to the attention 
of my colleagues a great man in the State of New Jersey, Reverend Dr. 
Kenneth L. Saunders, Sr.
  Reverend Saunders is a man of integrity who is committed to the 
spiritual, mental, social, civil and economic well-being of his 
congregation and residents of the City of Piscataway.
  Reverend Saunders has dedicated his life to public service. As 
Council President of the City of Piscataway, he insures that everyone 
has a voice. Reverend Saunders is also an outstanding advocate for 
children and their families.
  Reverend Saunders is a true American, who believes that all people 
should have access to America's Promise. He has the enviable gift of 
being able to bring people together to work for a common cause. 
Reverend Saunders is an unselfish man whose motivation is not self-
gratification. He possesses a higher calling.
  This week, Reverend Saunders is celebrating 12 wonderful years of 
pastoral ministry at North Stelton A.M.E. Church in Piscataway. Under 
his unparalleled guidance, North Stelton A.M.E. Church has experienced 
enormous growth and is a warm congregation filled with joy and love.
  I want to also mention his wife, Mrs. Shirley Saunders and want you 
to know that they make an exceptional team. Her devotion to the 
community is very well-known, and the State of New Jersey is a better 
place because of the leadership of Reverend and Mrs. Kenneth L. 
Saunders, Sr.
  Lastly, I am a better man today because of my friendship with 
Reverend and Mrs. Saunders, and it is an honor for me to bring them to 
your attention.
