CENTRAL NEW JERSEY RECOGNIZES AND CELEBRATES THE CAREER OF HERBERT

BARRACK

______

HON. RUSH D. HOLT

of new jersey

in the house of representatives

Friday, November 21, 2003

Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the career of Herbert Barrack, who has served the Federal Environmental Protection Agency for 32 years.

A resident of Manalapan, he has risen through the ranks of the EPA by demonstrating his commitment to the protection of public health and the environment.

Under Herb's direction as the Chief Financial Manager of the New York Regional Office of Policy and Management, the department has expanded its capacity in administrative areas such as information systems management, financial management, grants management and human resources management

Mr. Barrack was the first EPA Assistant Regional Administrator for Policy and Management, as well as the first Executive Director of the Administrator's Environmental Financial Advisory Board.

In 1994 Mr. Barrack became one of only two regional representatives on the Regulatory Policy Council, overseeing the EPA's implementation of new Executive Orders on Regulatory Development.

His dedication to his work earned him both the Silver and Gold Medal for Exceptional Service. Mr. Barrack has also received Presidential Rank Awards of SES Meritorious Executive three times in recognition of quality and efficiency in public service.

As an inspiration to his community and the state of New Jersey, Mr. Barrack has contributed significantly to the life of his community. He has earned our heartfelt appreciation for his efforts.
