                         COMMENDING STEVE PICCO

 Mr. CORZINE. Mr. President, I wish to commend the work of 
Steve Picco, who is retiring after 8 years as a board member of the 
Northeast-Midwest Institute. A two-term chairman of the Institute's 
Board of Directors, Steve served with leadership, vision, and wit.
  Steve has had a distinguished career in New Jersey, with more than 20 
years of experience as a regulator and practitioner in the areas of 
environmental and energy law. He served as Assistant Commissioner in 
both the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and New 
Jersey Department of Energy and as a member of the New Jersey Economic 
Development Authority and the Delaware River Basin Commission. He 
currently is a partner with Reed Smith Shaw and McClay in Princeton.
  The Northeast-Midwest Congressional Coalitions and Institute strive 
to promote the region's economic vitality while preserving its 
environmental quality. A goal served by our States working together to 
influence legislative policy important to the region. Steve Picco 
deserves much praise for his efforts on behalf of the State of New 
Jersey and for ensuring that the Institute's work is relevant to the 
key policy issues affecting Northeastern and Midwestern States.
