                    CONGRATULATING MARK A. ANGELSON

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RAHM EMANUEL

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 2, 2004

  Mr. EMANUEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mark A. 
Angelson for joining RR Donnelley & Sons Company and on being selected 
as its Chief Executive Officer and as a member of its Board of 
Directors.
  RR Donnelley has a rich and storied history. Founded over 140 years 
ago in Chicago, the firm has grown to become the largest commercial 
printer in North America, with 50,000 employees serving clients across 
the globe. Aside from its unparalleled business achievements, RR 
Donnelley has established a reputation as a model of good corporate 
citizenship in the Chicagoland area and around the world.
  Through the active participation of its employees in youth education 
projects, and through the RR Donnelly Foundation and its Corporate 
Giving Program, RR Donnelley has enhanced the lives of thousands of 
children and has made lasting contributions to the vibrancy of our 
communities. I applaud RR Donnelley for serving as a shining example of 
leadership and commitment to civic responsibility in our city.
  Mr. Angelson's distinguished background as an attorney, financier and 
leading corporate executive will serve him well at the helm of RR 
Donnelley. Prior to his election as CEO of RR Donnelley on February 27, 
2004, Mr. Angelson served as CEO of leading printing firm Moore Wallace 
Inc. He was instrumental in spearheading the merger between Moore 
Wallace and RR Donnelley earlier this year. Before joining Moore 
Wallace, Mr. Angelson practiced law for twenty-one years, including 
fourteen years with Sidley Austin Brown & Wood, served as a senior 
executive with Big Flower Press Holdings, and was Deputy Chairman of 
Chancery Lane Capital, a New York-based private equity firm.
  Before launching his impressive career, the Caldwell, New Jersey 
native graduated from Rutgers University, where he received Phi Beta 
Kappa honors, and from Rutgers Law School. Mr. Angelson and his wife 
are the proud parents of three daughters.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the people of the Fifth Congressional 
District of Illinois and indeed all of Chicago, I am privileged to 
congratulate Mark A. Angelson for his achievements and to welcome him 
to Chicago.
