  Mr. ANDREWS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Jim Saxton for his 
service to the United States House of Representatives. I was pleased to 
have the opportunity to previously honor Mr. Saxton at a dinner in 
Cherry Hill on March 15, 2009.
  Since his time as an elementary school teacher and a small business 
owner, Representative Saxton has worked tirelessly to help the people 
of New Jersey. He served in the New Jersey General Assembly and the New 
Jersey Senate. He served the State of New Jersey in the House of 
Representatives for more than twenty-three years. He became the Ranking 
Member of the Armed Services and Resources Committee. He has been 
instrumental in efforts to keep military bases in New Jersey, to stop 
beach erosion, and to support New Jersey hospitals.
  Madam Speaker, Jim Saxton has a proud record of service to the State 
of New Jersey

and I am proud to call him my friend. I congratulate Mr. Saxton for all 
his accomplishments and wish him the best of luck in all of his future 
endeavors.
