                           LARRY FELDMAN, JR.

 Ms. LANDRIEU. Madam President, today I rise to honor and 
congratulate Mr. Larry Feldman, Jr., who will be sworn in as President 
of the Louisiana State Bar Association on June 28, 2002. His assumption 
of the role of President is the culmination of a lifelong commitment to 
service in the Bar Association. Larry received his J.D. degree in 1974 
from the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center and was admitted that year to 
practice in the State of Louisiana. Since this time he has been 
actively involved in the Bar Association. Larry has also demonstrated a 
commitment to excellence in programming on the Continuing Legal 
Education Program Committee and served as Chairman of the Committee 
from 1986-1987. He was one of the pioneers of the Sandestin Summer 
School for Lawyers. He served on the Board of Governors from 1994-1997. 
He was Secretary of the Association from 1997-1999, a position in which 
he served as Editor of the Louisiana State Bar Journal. In 1996, he 
received the LSBA's President's Award, which is the highest award given 
by the Louisiana State Bar Association to a member for their service to 
the organization. Through all of his effort, Larry Feldman has clearly 
demonstrated his dedication to the Association. However, Larry has not 
only been dedication to the Association, but also to his family. As the 
father of three daughters, he has shown that giving children a strong 
sense of self and independence is a great gift. As a devoted son, he 
has displayed that love, warmth, and support are excellent gifts to 
parents as they age. And as a husband, he has proven that love is best 
when it is between equals. Larry is known for his cooking, his quick 
wit, and his love of a good time. He is much sought after as a lawyer 
and, more importantly, as a friend. I congratulate Larry for all he has 
done, both in and out of the courtroom, and wish him the best of luck 
as he begins his service as President of the Louisiana State Bar 
Association.
