              50TH ANNIVERSARY OF DANIEL J. EDELMAN, INC.

 Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I am pleased today to congratulate 
Daniel J. Edelman, Inc., as it commemorates its 50th anniversary. 
Public relations firms look to Edelman as a company to follow, and I 
commend their work.
  Since its founding in Chicago in 1952 by Daniel J. Edelman, the 
agency that bears his name has consistently been identified for its 
leadership in public relations. Edelman has received several awards, 
including the Golden World Award from the International Public 
Relations Association and the Sword of Excellence Award from the 
Institute of Public Relations in London.
  Mr. Edelman is widely regarded in public relations circles as a 
leader and innovator in the development of public relations practices, 
standards and ethics in the United States and internationally. He has 
generously given his time to the Public Relations Society of America 
and to students seeking public relations careers. Mr. Edelman believes 
that public relations should be practiced in a professional manner with 
commitment to the highest standards. Edelman Public Relations has 
contributed significant time to local, national and international 
philanthropic causes and organizations.
  I know my fellow Senators will join me in congratulating Edelman on 
its 50th Anniversary. I applaud this company for its dedication and 
extend my best wishes for the future.
