                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 7, 2002

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the late Bruce 
Hochman. Mr. Hochman will be greatly missed, as he was a devoted and 
outstanding member of the Southern California community. Through his 
civic involvement, he helped affect positive change in the lives of 
many.
  Bruce Hochman received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the 
University of California, Los Angeles. He later received his Juris 
Doctorate degree from the same university. Throughout his life, he 
served as an attorney in many capactities, earning acceptance to 
practice before the Supreme Court of the United States, Ninth Circuit 
Court of Appeals, United States District Court, United States Claims 
Court, and United States Tax Court.
  Bruce was an active author and lecturer over the years, speaking on 
tax law and accounting at a number of prestigious universities and 
institutes throughout the nation. He has spoken both at the University 
of California, Los Angeles and the University of Southern California. 
He also addressed the Southern Tax Institute, Alabama Tax Institute, 
and the North West Tax Institute.
  Bruce was set apart from so many because he devoted himself to the 
improvement of the lives of others. As the Chairman of the Board of the 
Foundation for People, Inc., he helped the organization assist federal 
parolees and probationers with vocational opportunities. For his work 
with the Anti-Defamation League as a past Regional Board President, 
National Commissioner and Executive Committee Member, he was honored as 
an Honorary National Vice Chairman.
  So I ask all Members of the United States House of Representatives to 
pause to honor a great man who helped so many people. He will be missed 
not only by his family, but by all of those fortunate enough to cross 
his path.
