  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of Charles E. Simpson, in 
recognition of his commitment and service to his community and his 
outstanding accomplishments in the field of law.
  Charles is an attorney and a partner of Windels Marx Lane & 
Mittendorf, LLP., and chairs the firm's Bankruptcy, Corporate 
Restructuring and Workouts Practice Group. He is also a member of the 
Litigation and Real Estate Practice Groups.
  Since 1981, Charles has served as one of the counsels to the 
Honorable Edolphus Towns of the 10th Congressional District, Brooklyn, 
New York. In addition, he is a former member of the Board of Directors 
of the Brooklyn Children's Museum, the Brooklyn Red Cross, the Queens 
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and the Brooklyn 
Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America. From 1983 through 1987, Mr. 
Simpson served as Brooklyn's Representative on the Board of Directors 
of the then New York City Public Development Corporation. He also 
served as counsel to the Bed-Stuy/Crown Heights Area Health Plan and 
the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation. He was a member of the 
New York State Bar Association's Committee on Minorities in the 
Profession from 1987 to 1992.
  Charles, who served in the U.S. Army from 1969-1972, graduated magna 
cum laude from Pepperdine University in Los Angeles, California in 1974 
and received his law degree in 1977 from Harvard. He was named a Martin 
Luther King Jr. Fellow in 1974.
  Mr. Speaker, Charles E. Simpson has dedicated his time to an array of 
local activities and causes, often using his legal expertise for the 
betterment of the community. As such, he is more than worthy of 
receiving our recognition today and I urge my colleagues to join me in 
honoring this truly remarkable person.
