                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN H. ADLER

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 12, 2010

  Mr. ADLER of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Mr. Matt Skahill and Ms. Rosemary Clark, as they are 
honored with the `Prosecutor's Special Recognition Award' for providing 
significant assistance to law enforcement in Burlington County, NJ. For 
their outstanding efforts, they will be recognized at the Burlington 
County Prosecutor's Office 22nd Annual PROCOPS Award Banquet. PROCOPS, 
or Prosecutor's Recognition of Citizens or Public Servants, recognizes 
members of law enforcement and civilians whose significant actions, 
bravery and concern for the well being of society have made Burlington 
County, NJ a safer place to live.
  I would like to extend my sincere congratulations and thanks to Mr. 
Matt Skahill, Assistant U.S. Attorney, for his efforts in successfully 
prosecuting major drug traffickers in the South Jersey region. Thanks 
to his efforts, men intent on distributing illegal narcotics are now 
off our streets. I would also like to recognize Ms. Rosemary Clark of 
Willingboro, NJ for providing compassion, strength, and support as a 
foster parent to two children who were witnesses in a case against 
their own father.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in thanking these individuals for 
their assistance to law enforcement in Burlington County, NJ. I am 
proud to represent such exemplary citizens, and I hope others follow 
their example by helping those in need.

                          ____________________
