  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Richard A. 
Weiland, a well known Cincinnati civic leader, as he is honored by the 
Cincinnati Associates of the Hebrew Union College Jewish Institute of 
Religion.
  Dick has been a member of the Cincinnati Associates since the group's 
inception, and he has been a key part of its leadership. He currently 
serves as the Associates' Honorary Chair.
  An energetic and committed community volunteer, Dick is involved in 
numerous civil and philanthropic activities. He serves on the Executive 
Committee of the American Jewish Committee; the Cincinnati Human 
Relations Commission; the Jewish National Fund Advisory Board; the 
Council of Jewish Federation's National Leadership; Jewish Federation 
of Cincinnati; Family Service of Cincinnati Advisory Board; and the 
Ohio Refugee Immigration Aid Committee. In addition to these challenges 
and many others, Dick has been active in the Coalition for a Drug-Free 
Greater Cincinnati, an organization I founded to combat substance abuse 
in the Greater Cincinnati community.
  A Cincinnati native, Dick attended Walnut Hills High School, Williams 
College, and the University of Cincinnati College of Law. He
