Julis “Dr J” Erving joined Congressman Chris Smith at a 2005 press conference calling for the passage of the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act
The House of Representatives debated today the reauthorization of the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act, legislation authored by Congressman Chris Smith in 2005 and reauthorized in 2015. The chamber is expected to pass the bill without opposition later this week.
Smith was unable to participate in the floor debate because he was in New Jersey for the funeral of his mother-in-law, Margaret Hahn, the former borough clerk of Sayreville.
Smith entered the following remarks into the Congressional Record, on behalf of his bill:
The Monmouth County Conference of PBA Delegates, representing 39 Law Enforcement agencies with over 2,000 Law Enforcement Officers in the County, has endorsed Ross Licitra for Monmouth County Freeholder.
Licitra is the Executive Director and Chief Humane Officer of the Monmouth SPCA, a position he took after a long career as a law enforcement officer.

I would like to take the time to reflect upon and
recognize the 19th anniversary of the horrific terrorist attacks our nation
endured on September 11th, 2001. Though the years have passed, we will never
forget the lives and legacies of those who lost their lives or the first
responders who bravely did their jobs.
It is our duty to always remember the horrific
events that took place on that day, as well as, to never forget those we lost
and how that day changed our lives forever.
However, in order to never forget, our youth must be taught about 9/11
and the events that transpired that day and how it changed the course of
American history forever.
@RepChrisSmith Thank you Chris for making this possible! My brother would not have survived Covid had it not been for you and your staff. You cut through tons of red tape for us, and we owe you a debt of gratitude!https://t.co/GcvrECXhCD
