  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Carl E. 
Lovell, who succumbed to cancer on Thursday, September 21, 2006.
  Carl served the people of the City of Las Vegas and the citizens of 
Nevada in a number of profound ways. He was widely recognized during 
his professional career as the youngest City Attorney in the Nation for 
the City of North Las Vegas and the youngest elected City Attorney in 
the Nation at age 28, for the City of Las Vegas. After starting his own 
firm in 1970, Carl became very active in the international arena for 
Estate and Asset Protection Planning, even representing the United 
States in international trade and law talks with Beijing, China in 1987 
and tried cases before the United States Supreme Court.
  Carl was very involved in a number of civic organizations. He was a 
founding member and President of the Nevada Donor Network, Vice 
President and Director of the Southern Nevada Better Business Bureau, 
Chairman of the the National Consumer Affairs Committee for the 
National City Attorneys Association.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor the life of Carl E. Lovell. His 
professional success and philanthropic efforts should serve as an 
example for us all.
