Thomas H. Kean, principal speaker Monmouth College's commence- ment ceremonies yesterday, lam- basted Congress and the Reagan administration for "inaction" in the area of environmental protec- tion. The governor, who received an honorary doctor of laws degrees during the ceremony, focused sole- ly on New Jersey's environmental concerns during his speech. Kean criticized Reagan for his reluctance to reauthorize the Superfund to clean up toxic waste dumps. The governer had warned a senate committee last week of the consequences of delaying reauthorization for the next fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1. He said he supports a five-year reauthoriza- tion bill now in congress that would increase the Superfund more than fivefold, from the current (1.6 billion to $9 billion over the next five years. While the Superfund will expire at the end of this fiscal year, the FATHER AND SON — U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Reagan administration wants to William J.
