                       HONORING DENISE WILKERSON

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor a great public servant from 
my district, Denise Wilkerson.
  Ms. Wilkerson is the council president for the city of Roselle, New 
Jersey, but her dedication to her community extends far beyond her city 
council work. She also is the president of the Union County National 
Organization for Women. She served as second vice president of the 
National Council of Negro Women in Roselle, as well.
  She is actively involved in her local NAACP chapter, and, in 
addition, she is the executive director of Abounding Women Community 
Outreach. This nonprofit is dedicated to empowering women through their 
community events and professional skills training.
  She is a vibrant part of my community, and I am glad to commend her 
from the floor of the United States House of Representatives on this 
day. She deserves all the accolades we can give her and much more.
