  Mr. TURNER of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize LexisNexis, a

It provides a service that has become a valuable information research 
tool to a wide range of professionals in the legal, government,

  Thirty years ago, LexisNexis launched the first online legal research 
system, an innovation that revolutionized the way legal and business

  As a lawyer and a lawmaker, I rely on the services provided by 
LexisNexis and am honored to recognize them today as a global leader in 
legal, news, and business information services. I congratulate 
LexisNexis on the success it has achieved over the past 30 years and 
wish the company and all of its 13,000 employees worldwide, continued 
success.
  LexisNexis is truly deserving of this recognition and I am confident
