  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today to recognize Saleem 
S. Rizvi for his accomplishments in the Pakistani-American community. 
An attorney by profession, Mr. Rizvi earned his bachelor of law, master 
of arts, and political science degree from the University of Punjab, 
Pakistan.
  He came to the United States to advance his education in law, 
entering one of our most prestigious legal institutions, Columbia Law 
School. There, he expanded his academic horizons and excelled in the 
area of international law.
  After graduating from Columbia with a master of law degree, Mr. Rizvi 
enrolled again as a special student to conduct further studies and 
research in the areas of corporate law, international trade, and 
investment law.
  In 1990, he developed a diversified practice covering corporate, 
commercial, real estate, bankruptcy, and immigration law. He 
successfully and continuously applies his knowledge, skills, and vision 
to help those less fortunate and who seek his assistance in fighting 
for justice and securing their legal and political rights.
  He is very active in many community affairs. He organizes, 
participates, and lectures at many seminars and conferences on legal 
and general matters. Saleem writes a weekly column on law for three 
ethnic newspapers and hosts the television program ``Legal Forum.'' 
Through this program, he is able to update his viewers on the latest 
developments in the legal field.
