                     TRIBUTE TO SANFORD M. LITVACK

                                 ______


                          HON. HENRY A. WAXMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 22, 1995

  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in paying 
tribute to Sanford M. Litvack, a distinguished attorney who currently 
serves as the senior executive vice president and chief of corporate 
operations of the Walt Disney Co.
  Mr. Litvack is greatly respected both in the legal community and 
among the advocates of legal reform and legal services for the poor. He 
has led the crusade to make the law a field of humane service, and not 
merely a remunerative profession.
  On January 27, 1996, Bet Tzedek Legal Services will honor Sanford M. 
Litvack for his unstinting work in bringing high-quality legal services 
to the poor, the elderly, and others in need.
  Under Mr. Litvack's vigorous leadership, the goals of Bet Tzedek have 
been realized even beyond the expectations of the organization's 
founders and staunchest supporters. He and his colleagues have 
assembled a well-organized, efficient, humanitarian organization that 
individuals can turn to for competent legal counsel when all other 
paths are closed.
  Sanford Litvack sets a standard for us all to live up to. He has been 
able to balance his full family and professional life with energetic 
and creative contributions to the organization and leadership of Bet 
Tzedek and other humanitarian and philanthropic efforts.
  I ask all of my colleagues to join me in recognizing Sanford Litvack 
for his important work with Bet Tzedek Legal Services. I wish him every 
success in all of his future endeavors.
