Mr. Speaker, it is a honor for me to join the many other\nMembers, from both sides of the aisle, paying tribute to Representative\nDean Gallo, our friend and colleague.\n  Dean Gallo, first elected to New Jersey's 11th Congressional District\nin 1985, has served as a constant voice for the small businesses of New\nJersey, and has insured that resources and financial backing are\navailable to small businesses. Dean himself a real estate agent,\nunderstands the needs of small businesses and, through his work on the\nHouse Small Business Committee, has strengthened and expanded the Small\nBusiness Association, which, at the time of Dean's arrival to the\nCongress in 1985, was threatened with extinction.\n  His efforts in Washington have not gone unnoticed. In 1989, Dean\nGallo was awarded the New Jersey Small Business Development Center's\nexcellence award. Furthermore, he is a five-time recipient of the\nGuardian of Small Business Award, and a five-time recipient of the\nSpirit of Enterprise Award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.\n  Throughout Dean Gallo's career in public service, beginning in 1968\nas a member of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Council, he has been\na champion of small businesses, and has understood that today's larger\ncorporations and all businesses were once small businesses. Dean has\nspearheaded the effort in Congress to increase exports and expand our\ninternational trade routes, most recently in dealing with the European\nCommunity. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, Dean\nGallo helped to increase Export-Import Bank funding from $500 million\nto $750 million.\n  Under the circumstances of Dean's retirement, he should know that my\nprayers are with him and his family for a full and speedy recovery. May\nGod bless you, Dean."]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-1994-10-08-pt1-PgE243"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.44648302718997, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
