                    50TH ANNIVERSARY OF GOLINHARRIS

  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate a Chicago 
business on its 50th anniversary.
  The public relations firm GolinHarris began as a six-person operation 
in Chicago in 1956. Fifty years later, GolinHarris is one of the 
world's leading public relations firms, with a client list that reads 
like a Who's Who of Business. It employs more than 450 professionals in 
29 offices across the globe--from Brazil to Belgrade, Stockholm to 
Singapore--but, I am proud to say, GolinHarris continues to call 
Chicago home.
  One thing about GolinHarris has not changed over these 5 decades and 
that is the strength of its leadership. Under the guidance of Chairman 
Al Golin who has helped shape the firm from its beginning, GolinHarris 
has developed a reputation as an outstanding corporate citizen and an 
innovator in an intensively competitive and fast-changing field.
  I would like to extend my congratulations to Al Golin and the 
employees of GolinHarris on this milestone 50th anniversary and wish 
them continued success in the years to come.
