  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1

Reverend Fred Handy In-Service Award winner.

  Ms. Clark was honored on October 25 by the Montclair, New Jersey, 
branch of the NAACP. Few honorees have been more dedicated to serving 
the public good.
  Ms. Clark has spent her entire life helping the underserved and the 
most vulnerable residents of Essex County. She started in child 
development at the Newark Day Care Center. She has worked for social 
services and served as the director of a needs-based youth summer camp.
  During her 30 years in the Essex County judicial system, she helped 
single mothers get child support and worked to keep juveniles from 
becoming criminals.
  She is a respected and beloved resident of my district, as well as a 
great friend and family member and a loved one, and this honor is well-
deserved.
  We are very proud of the work that Ms. Anita Clark has done for her 
community throughout her time in Essex County.
