                     TRIBUTE TO TIMOTHY F. MALONEY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BENJAMIN L. CARDIN

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 3, 2004

  Mr. CARDIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to 
Timothy F. Maloney who is being honored as Hibernian of the Year. Tim 
is a partner with the Greenbelt, MD law firm of Joseph Greenwald & 
Laake, P.A. and is a former member of the Maryland House of Delegates.
  He served in the Maryland House of Delegates from 1979 to 1995. When 
I was Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates, I came to know and 
appreciate his many talents and abilities. As a legislator, he chaired 
subcommittees on higher education, transportation, public safety and 
capital budgets.
  Tim stood out as a gifted legislator who had a great sense of humor. 
He was known for good fun practical jokes and on more than one occasion 
I was tempted to call out the Maryland State Police to hunt him down 
(no comparison to Texas intended). In recent years, he has put these 
talents to work as the Master of Ceremonies of the annual Hibernian 
Dinner. This year it is his turn to sit quietly at the head table as 
his life transgressions are revealed.
  Despite certain behavior lapses, he was an extremely able and 
effective legislator. He was instrumental in the development and 
funding of numerous capital projects, including the Clarice Smith 
Performing Arts Center, the Prince George's County Courthouse, the 
Hyattsville Justice Center and the College Park Airport Museum. His 
colleagues in the General Assembly voted him as one of the three ``most 
effective'' members of the General Assembly in the WJLA-TV poll, 
although there is some question and poll tampering by the Maloney camp.
  For the past 15 years, Mr. Maloney has been heavily involved in 
significant litigation and administrative matters. These include 
complex litigation in federal and state courts in the District of 
Columbia and Maryland, and a significant administrative practice before 
federal, state and local agencies. Surprisingly, he has never been a 
defendant. He is a member of the District and Maryland Bar, and also is 
admitted to practice before the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and the 
U.S. Supreme Court. He serves on the Rules Committee of the Maryland 
Court of Appeals, and frequently lectures to state and local bar 
organizations.
  Mr. Maloney has worked tirelessly to improve our community and its 
many institutions. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the 
University of Maryland Foundation, the Administrative Board of the 
Maryland Catholic

Conference, the Board of Trustees of Villa Julie College and the Board 
of Trustees of Archbishop Carroll High School.
  I hope my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives will join 
me in saluting Tim Maloney as a top litigator who has dedicated much of 
his life to helping others and improving our community.
