  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jeanne Fox on her 
retirement from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. Commissioner 
Fox is a dedicated public servant whose numerous achievements should be 
celebrated.
  Commissioner Fox has been an outstanding advocate for environmental 
causes. She served as President of the Board of Public Utilities from 
2002 until 2010 and served two terms as Commissioner. Prior to her 
positions at the Board, Commissioner Fox served as Regional 
Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and 
as Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of 
Environmental Protection and Energy. During her tenure as President of 
the Board of Public Utilities, the Board received several environmental 
awards, including the Golden Meter Award for Best Statewide Net 
Metering Program in the U.S. and the Network for New Energy Choices 
Award.
  Additionally, Commissioner Fox has also been an active member of a 
number of environmental organizations and commissions. She served on 
the Board of Directors of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative from 
2003 until 2010, was President of the Mid-Atlantic Conference of 
Regulatory Utilities Commissioners and was a member of the Advisory 
Council to the Board of Directors of the Electric Power Research 
Institute, among others.
  Commissioner Fox is a graduate of Rutgers University, earning her 
Bachelor's Degree from Douglass College and Juris Doctor from Rutgers 
University School of Law.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Jeanne Fox on her 
retirement. Her commitment to public service and the betterment of our 
communities is truly deserving of this body's recognition.
