                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 25, 2009

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in commemoration of 
the Twenty Fifth Anniversary of Morris Tomorrow of Morris County, New 
Jersey, a vibrant organization that I am proud to represent.
  Morris Tomorrow's primary mission includes focusing attention on 
issues of regional significance, promoting public discussion, 
facilitating consensus towards viable solutions, and serving as a 
catalyst for implementation. Founded as Morris 2000 in 1984, the 
organization has managed to successfully bridge environment and 
business interests, working to further both causes to the mutual 
benefit of both.
  Morris Tomorrow has established several high-profile programs that 
have helped define issues facing Morris County and the surrounding 
area. Among the programs is Midday Morris, a quarterly lecture series 
targeted toward business, government, civic and education leaders; 
Building Cross-Cultural Communities, works to address issues faced by 
our immigrant communities; Morris Summit, brings together local leaders 
from our business, government, education and nonprofit communities to 
explore quality of life issues. Additionally, three organizations that 
have proved essential to the watershed management issues that are vital 
to the area are off-shoots of Morris Tomorrow--the Ten Towns Great 
Swamp Watershed Management Committee, the Rockaway River Watershed 
Cabinet, and the Raritan Highlands Compact.
  We are privileged to have such a dynamic and dedicated non-profit 
organization in Morris County.
  Madam Speaker, I urge you and my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Morris tomorrow on the celebration of its 25 years 
serving Morris County.
