                     TRIBUTE TO MELVIN N. GREENBERG

  Mr. GRAHAM. Madam President, I rise today to pay tribute to a man who 
has spent much of his life helping others in south Florida, my friend 
Mr. Melvin N. Greenberg.
  Mel Greenberg is a founding shareholder of the law firm of Greenberg 
Traurig, one of the most distinguished and highly regarded firms in 
Florida. He is also a generous contributor to numerous civic causes for 
the benefit of all citizens.
  Mel Greenberg is dedicated to promoting the highest ethical 
standards, professional reliability and diligence in the legal 
profession. He has been duly recognized for his academic excellence and 
brilliance as an attorney.
  Mel Greenberg, in his four decades of service to the community, has 
chaired and held key positions at numerous national and local 
committees of charitable organizations. His goal is always the same: to 
improve the quality of life of others.
  He has contributed substantially to the University of Miami as vice-
chairman of the Board of Trustees; past vice-chairman of the Executive 
Committee; co-chairman of the Ad Hoc Medical School Committee; and 
member and former chairman of the Visiting Committee of the School of 
Medicine.
  One of Mel's greatest contributions has been to the United Way where 
he was chairman of the United Way Campaign. He also served as trustee 
with the Public Health Trust of Dade County.
  Mel Greenberg will be honored next month by the leaders of the Miami 
business and civic community for a most distinguished career and four 
decades of service to the community.
  Mel Greenberg has brought a commitment to excellence to every 
endeavor which he has undertaken. Florida is a better place because of 
him.
