  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the 
accomplishments and contributions of Mr. Gabriel Bevilacqua, Chancellor 
of the Philadelphia Bar Association. It is a privilege to recognize an 
individual that strives to ensure that Philadelphia is always at its 
best.
  Mr. Bevilacqua is a member of the litigation team for Saul Ewing, LLP 
as well as an involved leader of numerous professional and civic 
organizations. Mr. Bevilacqua has held various leadership positions 
that include being Chair of the firm's Health Law Litigation Committee, 
serving 7 years as a member of the Philadelphia Bar Association's Board 
of Governors, and serving as the Bar Association's Treasurer and 
Assistant Treasurer. He currently serves as a Trustee for the 
Philadelphia Bar Foundation and is a respected former President of the 
foundation.
  Mr. Bevilacqua has remained active outside of the professional arena 
by being an active member of the Nazareth Hospital Board of Trustees, 
and by serving on the Board of Directors for Nazareth Hospital, St. 
Mary's Hospital, and Holy Redeemer Hospital Home Health Agency. Gabriel 
Bevilacqua was selected as ``Pennsylvania Super Lawyer'' by 
Philadelphia Magazine for 2004 for successfully upholding a 
professional and personal commitment to the Greater Philadelphia area.
  It is my honor to recognize a person whose dedication to the 
community has enriched the lives of countless individuals in both my 
district and the state of Pennsylvania. I hope that all of my 
distinguished colleagues will join me and his family in honoring Mr. 
Gabriel Bevilacqua.
