  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
Cuyahoga County Bar Association's 75th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee 
which will be held on Friday, June 20, 2003, in Cleveland, Ohio. The 
Cuyahoga County Bar Association has served the legal community and 
citizens of Cuyahoga County through research, advocacy, and education. 
Founded by 64 former members of the Cleveland Bar Association in 1928, 
it's mission is to ``advance to the highest standards of excellence for 
the legal profession, to enhance the professional competence of 
attorneys, to further the administration of justice, to preserve and 
protect the liberties and rights of the people, to inspire respect for 
the law and legal profession through the support of law-related and 
community services, and to promote an atmosphere of collegiality among 
members of the Bench and the Bar.''
  On this great occasion, Thomas J. Escovar, a partner with the firm 
Steuer, Escovar, Berk & Brown Co., L.P.A., in Cleveland, OH, is being 
installed as the CCBA's President. The association's President-Elect is 
Justin Madden, a partner with the firm Spangenberg, Shibley & Liber in 
Cleveland. Diana Thimmig will be installed as the First Vice President 
and Laurence A. Turbow will serve as Second Vice President. Howard 
Besser will retain his position with CCBA as Secretary.
  Furthermore, I would like to congratulate the new members of the CCBA 
Board of Trustees for 2004; the Honorable Janet R. Burnside, Louis J. 
Carlozzi, Deanna L. DiPetta, Steven L. Gardner, John F. McCaffrey and 
Robert J. Vecchio. I would also like to congratulate the new members of 
the Trustee Class of 2005; David B. Gallup, the Honorable Diane J. 
Karpinski, Lenore Kleinman, Jacob A.H. Kronenberg, the Honorable David 
T. Matia, the Honorable John D. Sutula, Mary Jane Trapp and the Trustee 
Class of 2006; the Honorable John E. Corrigan, Michael M. Courtney, 
Janet L. Kronenberg, Ellen S. Mandell, Mary Ann Rini, Stanley E. Stein 
and Jeffrey L. Tasse.
  Finally, I would like to congratulate the new Presidential Board 
Appointments; the Honorable Ann Dyke, Lori Ann Luka and Barbara K. 
Roman. It gives me great pleasure, Mr. Speaker, to rise today to honor 
the Cuyahoga County Bar Association and to salute its new leadership.
