  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mel Wilson, 
who has served as the President of the Southland Regional Association 
of Realtors.
  Mel Wilson has worked diligently this past year to enhance the 
reputation of the Association. It is regarded as one of the preeminent 
associations of the real estate business as a result of his efforts.
  The Association has improved and expanded member services and has 
enabled all members to successfully pursue the real estate business. 
Mel has worked to ensure the Association's reputation as a leader in 
technology has been maintained, an effort which resulted in the 
development of an award-winning Internet site. The importance of 
technology, especially in this day and age, is evident to Mel.
  A testament to Mel's strength of character and desire to improve our 
community is exemplified through his actions as the President of this 
Association. Under his leadership, the Association has continued to 
play an active role in the community.
  Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues, please join me in paying 
tribute to Mel Wilson. He is a role model for the citizens of Los 
Angeles.
