      HONORING NEW JERSEY SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE MARILYN RHYNE HERR

  (Mr. LANCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize former New Jersey 
Superior Court Judge Marilyn Rhyne Herr for her 15 years of outstanding 
service to our State. I was honored to be part of the celebration 
recently honoring Judge Herr as her portrait was unveiled for permanent 
display in the

Hunterdon County, New Jersey, courthouse.
  Judge Herr was sworn in to the New Jersey Superior Court in 1989, 
becoming the second woman resident of Hunterdon County to be named a 
Superior Court judge and the first assigned to the bench in our home 
County. She was for many years in the family division, a court Judge 
Herr called the most important court there is.
  More than a jurist, Judge Herr served for many years as a Girl Scout 
leader and two terms as president of the Rolling Hills Girl Scout 
Council. She is a patron of the arts, an avid reader of historical 
biographies, a former pilot, world traveler, and competitive tennis 
player.
  Like my wife and me, she is a resident of Clinton Township, Hunterdon 
County, New Jersey, and my wife and I are proud to call Marilyn Rhyne 
Herr our friend and neighbor.
  Congratulations, Judge Herr, and thank you for your service to New 
Jersey.
