           TOP 50 BEST TOWNS FOR FAMILIES IN THE GARDEN STATE

  (Mr. LANCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to note a special distinction for 
several communities in New Jersey's Seventh Congressional District.
  New Jersey Family magazine has named several towns in the 
congressional district I serve as being among the top 50 best towns for 
families in the Garden State.
  Nearing the top of the list, at second place, is Montgomery Township 
in Somerset County. Joining Montgomery on the top 50 list are 
Bethlehem, Berkeley Heights, Branchburg, Chester Township, Clinton 
Township, Cranford, Hillsborough, Lebanon, Long Hill, New Providence, 
and West Amwell.
  I know these communities, and my wife and I live in Clinton Township. 
Each has excellent public schools, a strong local spirit, and each is a 
great place to plant roots and raise a family.
  I congratulate the local leadership in these municipalities, the 
elected officials and community leaders--nearly all of whom are 
volunteers--for the excellent management of these towns. Each is very 
deserving of this recognition.
