ROMANO L. MAZZOLI of kentucky in the house of representatives Thursday, October 6, 1994 Mr. MAZZOLI. Mr. Speaker, it is a honor for me to join the many other Members, from both sides of the aisle, paying tribute to Representative Dean Gallo, our friend and colleague. Dean Gallo, first elected to New Jersey's 11th Congressional District in 1985, has served as a constant voice for the small businesses of New Jersey, and has insured that resources and financial backing are available to small businesses. Dean himself a real estate agent, understands the needs of small businesses and, through his work on the House Small Business Committee, has strengthened and expanded the Small Business Association, which, at the time of Dean's arrival to the Congress in 1985, was threatened with extinction. His efforts in Washington have not gone unnoticed. In 1989, Dean Gallo was awarded the New Jersey Small Business Development Center's excellence award. Furthermore, he is a five-time recipient of the Guardian of Small Business Award, and a five-time recipient of the Spirit of Enterprise Award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Throughout Dean Gallo's career in public service, beginning in 1968 as a member of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Council, he has been a champion of small businesses, and has understood that today's larger corporations and all businesses were once small businesses. Dean has spearheaded the effort in Congress to increase exports and expand our international trade routes, most recently in dealing with the European Community. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, Dean Gallo helped to increase Export-Import Bank funding from $500 million to $750 million. Under the circumstances of Dean's retirement, he should know that my prayers are with him and his family for a full and speedy recovery. May God bless you, Dean. |
