  Mr. DIXON. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of Mr. Stephan Saeed Nourmand, president of the Beverly 
Hills/Greater Los Angeles Association of Realtors [BH/GLAAR]. For the 
past year, Saeed, as he is more affectionately known by his friends and 
colleagues, has provided exemplary leadership to BH/GLAAR, an

organization representing a membership of approximately 3,300 realtors 
throughout the cities of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Santa 
Monica, and West Hollywood. Saeed will be honored for his valuable 
contributions to BH/GLAAR on December 5, 1997. As his presidency comes 
to an end, I believe that this is the perfect time to commend him for 
his outstanding service and contributions to the greater Los Angeles 
real estate community.
  Prior to entering the real estate industry, Saeed received 
undergraduate and graduate degrees from the State University of New 
York. For a period of time, he was manager and a shareholder of 
Construction Concepts, Inc., a company which designed parking 
structures. He holds a patent as the inventor of a security system with 
Door Deadbolt Interlock.
  Saeed Nourmand has been in the real estate profession for more than 
two decades. He is the founder and sole shareholder of Nourmand & 
Associates, one of the premier real estate firms in Beverly Hills, CA. 
Also very active in other aspects of the industry, he currently serves 
as a director and president-elect of the Beverly Hills Board of 
Realtors, director of the California Association of Realtors, and as a 
member of the National Association of Realtors. He is an active member 
of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce and the Beverly Hills Economic 
Council. During his presidency of BH/GLAAR, he instituted and advocated 
for several legislative provisions to protect the rights of property 
owners in the Beverly Hills/Los Angeles area.
  Saeed is married to fellow outstanding realtor--Myra Nourmand. The 
couple are the proud parents of one daughter and two sons. In addition 
to his business and family responsibilities, Saeed is an avid aquatic 
enthusiast, pursuing his love of swimming, scuba diving, surfing, 
windsurfing, and jet skiing.
  Mr. Speaker, Stephan Saeed Nourmand has made innumerable and valuable 
contributions to the real estate industry. He is highly respected by 
his peers in the industry, all of whom I know join me in saluting him. 
As he prepares to step down from the presidency of the BH/GLAAR, I am 
proud to join my fellow Angelenos in congratulating him on his 
exceptional service to the citizens of Los Angeles. You've done an 
outstanding job, Saeed. Good luck to you and your family in all of your 
future endeavors.
