                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 15, 2005

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Albert C. 
Wiltshire, an esteemed community leader. It is an honor to represent 
Mr. Wiltshire in the House of Representatives and it behooves us to pay 
tribute to such an outstanding leader.
  Mr. Wiltshire obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Urban Studies 
from St. Francis' College and a Master's Degree in Public 
Administration from New York University. He also received a Senior 
Managers Program certification from Harvard University's John F. 
Kennedy School of Government.
  Mr. Wiltshire is currently a Government Relations Manager for the 
KeySpan Corporation. At KeySpan, he provides counsel to the Senior Vice 
President of Corporate Affairs and Director of Government Relations on 
the relevant implications of government policy. Prior to joining 
KeySpan, he served as a Government Relations Manager for Consolidated 
Edison. Mr. Wiltshire's administrative experience also includes his 
previous service as President and Chief Operating Officer at the 
Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation. Through his efforts, the 
Navy Yard has become the most successful industrial park and economic 
development project in the nation.
  Mr. Wiltshire is certainly a model for the youth in our community. 
His drive to improve the standard of living and to clear a path for our 
youth to enter the economic mainstream is evident in all of his 
endeavors. Mr. Wiltshire has even served as a member of the New York 
City Police Department, where he became involved in reaching out to 
young adults at risk. He also restructured the Citywide Model Cities 
Program and devoted two years to reforming the New York City Juvenile 
Justice System's approach to youth crime and incarceration.
  Mr. Speaker, I believe that it is incumbent on this body to recognize 
the achievements and service of Mr. Albert C. Wiltshire.
