                        Thursday, March 10, 2005

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the achievements 
of a dedicated member of my community, Dr. Kenneth L. Saunders, Sr. 
Next month, Dr. Saunders will be celebrating his 16th pastoral 
anniversary at the North Stelton A.M.E. Church. He has emerged over the 
years as a community leader as well as a dedicated member of his 
congregation. Under his committed administration, the congregation at 
North Stelton has more than doubled.
  In addition to serving his community through the church, Dr. Saunders 
works as State Parole Board Commissioner, Chaplain of the local police 
department, and New Brunswick Theological Seminary Trustee. He has 
received numerous accolades including Senatorial commendation, the 
humanitarian of the year award from the Rutgers University School of 
Medicine and Dentistry, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. award from the 
local chapter of the NAACP.
  Dr. Saunders is also devoted to his family life. He has been married 
to Sister Shirley Harris Saunders for 25 years and is the proud father 
of Kenneth L. Saunders, Jr. The efforts of Dr. Saunders in the 
community and the church have benefited many citizens throughout his 
career.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of Dr. Kenneth 
L. Saunders, Sr., an exemplary citizen that I am proud to represent 
here in Congress.
