                 TRIBUTE TO COLONEL JAMES H. ROSENBLATT

                                 ______
                                 

                   HON. CHARLES W. ``CHIP'' PICKERING

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 22, 2003

  Mr. PICKERING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to 
Colonel James H. Rosenblatt who, after more than 30 years of service 
with the U.S. Army, will retire from active military duty in September 
and return to his home state to be Dean of the Mississippi College of 
Law.
  Hailing from the small town of Fort Adams, Mississippi, Colonel 
Rosenblatt entered active duty with the Army's Judge Advocate General's 
Corps in 1973 and, as a Captain, provided legal support in contract 
law, administrative law, and defense counsel work at the newly created 
U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, Fort Monroe, Virginia. His 
last assignment in a long and distinguished Army career poetically ends 
with a duty assignment as The Staff Judge Advocate, U.S. Army Training 
and Doctrine Command, having served Army-wide between them. Colonel 
Rosenblatt attended The Judge Advocate General's School in 
Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1977 and remained at the School to teach 
contract law, fiscal law, communications, and legislative drafting. 
After a tour in the Pentagon, where he was responsible for new 
accessions into the Army and the Funded Legal Education Program, he 
served with the 25th Infantry Division in Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, 
and with the 32nd Army Air Defense Command in Darmstadt, Federal 
Republic of Germany. Other assignments and advanced training took him 
to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas; Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri; Fort Meade, 
Maryland; and Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania.
  James and Lauren Rosenblatt and their four sons, Franklin, John, 
Andrew, and Paul, are truly an Army family, with two of their sons also 
serving in the U.S. Army: Franklin is a Lieutenant stationed at Fort 
Huachuca, Arizona, and John is a Sergeant stationed at Fort Meade. Son 
Andrew is attending Virginia Commonwealth University and Paul is a High 
School student at Tabb High School in Tabb, Virginia.
  I, as I know my colleagues do, commend Colonel Rosenblatt on more 
than 30 years of dedicated, honorable service to the Nation and the U. 
S. Army, and on behalf of the entire Mississippi Congressional 
Delegation, I welcome him back home.
