                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 7, 2004

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in tribute to Dr. Henry T. 
King, Jr., as Canada's First Honorary Consul in Cleveland and Northeast 
OH, and of the opening of a Canadian consulate office in Cleveland.
  Dr. King has been a long-time friend of Canada. As U.S. Director of 
the Canada-U.S. Law Institute, he has hosted the Institute's annual law 
conference at Case Western Reserve University School of Law for the 
last 19 years. Dr. King is a member of the American Bar Association and 
former chairman of its Section on International Law and Practice. He is 
currently U.S. Chairman of the Joint ABA/CBA/Barra Mexicana Working 
Group on the Settlement of International Disputes.
  Dr. King is a founder and co-chairman of the Greater Cleveland 
International Lawyers Group. He is also a member and former chairman of 
the Northern Ohio District Export Council. In addition, he is a member 
of the Corporate Counsel Committee of the American Arbitration 
Association and is an advisory board member of the Institute for 
International and Comparative Law of the Center for American and 
International Law, formerly the Southwestern Legal Foundation.
  Dr. King's strong interest in international law and justice goes back 
to his days as a young lawyer shortly after the Second World War when 
he joined with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson as a 
prosecutor at Nuremberg. This experience had a strong effect on his 
views of international law and relations, as is evident from his 
writings on global justice, international human rights, national and 
international security, sovereignty, and international courts.
  Henry King is a graduate of Yale Law School and has an honorary 
degree of Doctor of Civil Laws from the University of Western Ontario. 
He was awarded lifetime membership in the Canadian Bar Association. He 
is a Professor of Law at Case Western Reserve University School of Law 
and Of Counsel to the law firm of Squire, Sanders & Dempsey in 
Cleveland.
  Mr. Speaker, I am truly pleased that the people of Canada, in their 
wisdom, turned to Dr. Henry T. King, Jr., to be the Honorary Consul for 
Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. Canadians as well as the people of 
Greater Cleveland will be well represented in this most important 
international relationship.
