    HONORING BARBARA HEISER O'NEIL ON THE OCCASION OF HER RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEVEN R. ROTHMAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 21, 2010

  Mr. ROTHMAN of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Mrs. Barbara Heiser O'Neil, a resident of Hawthorne Township, New 
Jersey, for her 35 years of devoted service to the citizens of New 
Jersey as a Constituent Affairs Manager at Public Service Electric and 
Gas.
  Barbara O'Neil grew up in Paterson, New Jersey and studied at 
Montclair State University and Yale. She held various roles as an 
employee at Public Service Electric and Gas (PSEG), eventually becoming 
a Constituent Affairs Manager. Mrs. O'Neil is well known to every 
Congressional District Office in New Jersey. Congressional members and 
staff know that when a constituent need arises, Mrs. O'Neil will always 
help in a manner that is both timely and caring.
  Mrs. O'Neil has had a significant impact on my constituents 
throughout her career at PSEG, yet her contributions to the people of 
New Jersey extend beyond her role as a Constituent Affairs Manager. She 
is devoted to giving back to her community as a volunteer, currently 
serving as a member of the Board of Bergen Community College and 
Gilda's Club of Northern New Jersey. She has also served on the Board 
of the American Cancer Society. Mrs. O'Neil's commitment to improving 
the lives of her fellow New Jerseyans shines through in all that she 
does.
  Madam Speaker, today I would like to recognize Barbara Heiser 
O'Neil's dedication to the State of New Jersey and congratulate her on 
her outstanding career. I send her my best wishes for a happy and 
healthy retirement.
