                   HONORING THE OBSERVANCE OF LAW DAY

                                 ______


                           HON. SAM GEJDENSON

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 1995
  Mr. GEJDENSON. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, May 1, members of the legal 
profession from throughout eastern Connecticut will join their 
colleagues in national observance of Law Day. Law Day is a special day 
for Americans to celebrate our liberties and to rededicate ourselves to 
the ideals of equality and justice under law. This year's Law Day theme 
is ``E Pluribus Unum'', which serves as a reminder that the United 
States of America has forged one nation which guarantees equal 
protection and due process of law to its citizens, who represent all 
the different cultures, ethnic, racial, and religious groups of the 
world. This year's theme celebrates the law as the strongest bond in 
our richly diverse society.
  Among the Law Day observances in eastern Connecticut on Monday, May 
1, was the award ceremony for winners of the Law Day grade school 
poster contest and the Law Day high school essay contest. I applaud all 
the young people who took part in these creative competitions, and I 
especially want to congratulate the essay contest winner, Christina 
Alevras, and the poster winners, Mrs. Easter's Kindergarten Class, for 
their thoughtful efforts and their worthy achievements, in which they 
and their families should take great pride. I commend the legal 
community for its efforts to reach out to youth in thoughtful and 
positive ways that promote respect for law and democracy.
