                         HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN

                             of california

                       HON. ANTHONY C. BEILENSON

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 12, 1994

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, we are honored to pay tribute to David 
Gurnick, the outgoing president of the San Fernando Valley Bar 
Association. Under David's dynamic leadership, the San Fernando Valley 
Bar Association has had an outstanding year. His successors will have a 
hard act to follow.
  David's record speaks for itself. During his tenure, the SFVBA 
adopted a long-range strategic plan, increased membership, accumulated 
an historic budget surplus and began publication of two new 
periodicals: The Valley Lawyer Magazine and Bar Notes. In addition, 
David displayed a keen sense of community when he organized the 
association's pro bono efforts following the devastating Northridge 
earthquake.
  David is clearly a young lawyer on the rise. Since graduating with 
his law degree from Boalt Hall in 1984, he has become a partner in the 
firm of Kindel & Anderson, written numerous articles on franchise law, 
and is a member of the editorial staff of the ABA Franchise Law 
Journal. During his brief but busy career, he has also served as judge 
pro tem of the Los Angeles Municipal Court and is a trustee of the Los 
Angeles County Bar Association and the Olive View/UCLA Medical Center.
  We ask our colleagues to join us today in saluting David Gurnick as 
he steps down after a highly successful year as president of the San 
Fernando Valley Bar Association. He is a man who cares deeply about his 
profession and his community.
