  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor and pleasure that 
I stand before you today to recognize the many accomplishments of Mr. 
Lowell E. Enslen during 52 years of service in the Northwest Indiana 
community. Lowell has spent nearly five decades representing his 
community. His career as a lawyer has allowed him the opportunity to 
touch the lives of numerous people.
  Lowell E. Enslen was born in Gary, Indiana in 1927. He attended 
Hobart public schools and Valparaiso University. Lowell was admitted to 
the American Bar Association in 1952. He was National President of 
Sigma Delta Kappa from 1963-1964, Town Attorney of Dyer, Indiana from 
1957-1960, 1962, and 1964-1972 and of Cedar Lake, Indiana, from 1976-
1980. Lowell has accomplished many visionary goals throughout his 
career. He is a member of Enslen, Enslen & Matthews Law Firm, which was 
established in 1960. Enslen, Enslen, & Matthews Law Firm provides 
general civil, criminal and appellate practice in all State and Federal 
courts, family/domestic relations, probate and estate planning, 
insurance, real estate and labor relations law.
  Not only has Lowell Enslen had many constructive accomplishments 
throughout his career as a lawyer, he has also actively contributed to 
his community through participation in various programs designed at 
improving opportunities for the people of Northwest Indiana. Lowell was

with Lake County, Indiana State, and American Bar Associations, 
American Judicature Society, Indiana Trial Lawyers Association, The 
Association of Trial Lawyers of America, and Fellow Indiana Bar 
Foundation. Along with his many other accomplishments, Lowell has 
received numerous certificates and awards.
  Lowell has demonstrated his faithfulness by his extraordinary service 
to Enslen, Enslen, & Matthews and his community through his hard work 
and self-sacrifice. Although Lowell has served on numerous committees 
and has dedicated his time to Enslen, Enslen, & Matthews, he has never 
neglected to provide support and love to his family.
  Mr. Speaker, Lowell E. Enslen has given his time and efforts 
selflessly to the people of Northwest Indiana throughout his years of 
service. He has taught every member of Enslen, Enslen, & Matthews the 
true meaning of service to all members of the Northwest Indiana 
community. I respectfully ask that you and my other distinguished 
colleagues join me in congratulating Mr. Lowell E. Enslen for his 
outstanding contributions to Indiana's First Congressional District. I 
am proud to commend him for his lifetime of service and devotion.
