  SALUTE TO THE NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION AND PRESIDENT-ELECT LAWRENCE 
                            BOZE OF THE NBA

  (Ms. JACKSON-LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE. Madam Speaker, I rise this morning to salute 
Lawrence Boze, newly elected president-elect of the National Bar 
Association, now holding its 75th year meeting in Baltimore, MD.
  The National Bar Association, organized in 1920, is now celebrating 
its 75th year of service. It is an organization of lawyers serving 
African-Americans throughout this Nation. Mr. Boze, a native 
Houstonian, has been a long-time activist in the Houston Lawyers' 
Association, the NBA, and the Houston community. He has used his legal 
training to enhance the lives of those least able to access our 
American system of justice. He has fought the legal fight against 
eliminating the 18th Congressional District.
  As head of an organization, the NBA, that has led the effort to 
maintain equality, civil rights, and opportunity, I know that Mr. 
Boze's administration will continue that service in an excellent 
manner.
  It is my pleasure to salute the National Bar Association in its 75th 
year of service and Mr. Lawrence Boze, the newly elected president-
elect of the NBA.
