                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 26, 2010

  Mr. ANDREWS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Chief Paul Price 
upon his retirement and to recognize his outstanding contributions to 
Camden County and the state of New Jersey.
  Chief Price is known for his integrity and selfless nature. He has 
worked diligently to gain five million dollars in grant money for fire 
fighters in Camden for safety and preparedness. Chief Price goes 
significantly above and beyond the call of duty to give resources to 
those in need, working long nights and weekends so that the fire 
department has everything it needs. Chief Price's commitment to Camden 
County is also evidenced through his civic service affiliations. He has 
been active in the Camden County Fireman's Association, New Jersey 
Deputy Chief Association, Port Security Committee, Camden Cooperate 
Watch, and he was Emergency manager for the City of Camden. Despite all 
his work, his peers point out that he has never sought the spotlight 
and that he has always kept the best interests of the Camden Fire 
Department and its firefighters in mind.
  Beyond his civic duties, Chief Price has been recognized by the 
Camden community as always being ready to offer a helping hand in times 
of need. He is the driving force and backbone of the Camden Angels 
Program, working tirelessly every Christmas to ensure 3,500 children 
receive Christmas presents. Chief Price also donates his time to spring 
festivals, special needs carnivals and activities, and through outreach 
to the hungry and homeless. He also has given endless support to the 
Fugitive Safe Surrender Program in Camden City.
  Madam Speaker, Chief Paul Price's work and dedication are truly 
praiseworthy. I wish Chief Price the best of luck upon retirement and I 
thank him for his commitment to his community.
