IN HONOR OF THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AICPA'S JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTANCY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. E. CLAY SHAW, JR.

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 5, 2005

  Mr. SHAW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the Journal of 
Accountancy, the Journal of record for the accounting profession, on 
its 100th anniversary this year.
  The Journal of Accountancy, which is published by the American 
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, is read by nearly 400,000 
readers each month. Its contents include official releases of technical 
requirements for CPAs as well as news and information that enlighten 
readers about important relevant developments in and outside the 
profession and that enhance their professional competency.
  As a CPA, I am keenly aware of the value of this publication. CPAs 
play a vital role in our economy, and since 1905 the Journal of 
Accountancy has helped keep them informed about key business trends.
  I would like to acknowledge the significant contribution that the 
JofA has made during its first century and to recognize its editors, 
authors and art and production staff for their hard work. I extend my 
best wishes to the JofA for its continued success.

                          ____________________
