demonstrated the highest level of personal integrity and conduct. He 
has always shown a great respect for the law and he has consistently 
performed his judicial duties with compassion, sensitivity, and 
courtesy.
  He was always regarded with the highest esteem by the Los Angeles 
legal community. He has a lot of heart, a wonderful temperament, and a 
well-honed sense of humor.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor for me to recognize Superior Court Judge 
Robert M. Olson before my colleagues in the U.S. House of 
Representatives upon his retirement from the bench.
