  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute 
to a exemplary public servant whose roots lie in my home district of 
Massachusetts. For over 20 years, Steve Manning has shown undivided 
dedication to the people of Western Massachusetts.
  Steve is a highly respected attorney and a dedicated community 
activist. Mr. Manning has been engaged in private law since June, 1996 
concentrating in property law, estate and corporate business matters. 
In 1976, he was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar and U.S. District 
Court for the District of Massachusetts. In addition to his tremendous 
achievements, Mr. Manning serves as adjunct faculty member at Western 
New England College, Business Division.
  Under his inspired leadership, he was elected and appointed to many 
public offices throughout Western Massachusetts. For the last 18 years, 
Steve has served as a remarkable Selectmen for the town of East 
Longmeadow. He is a true family man and extraordinary friend who I 
proudly commend and honor.
  Mr. Speaker, I am privileged to represent such an outstanding 
individual and I join with the citizens of the Second Congressional 
District in offering a most heartfelt thank you for the service he has 
given to Western Massachusetts.
