                      Thursday, February 14, 2008

  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor Phillip 
Morris, a good friend and a great constituent of the Eleventh 
Congressional District of Ohio.
  Phillip Morris is characterized by many as an ``affable and 
altruistic man.'' Phillip Morris joined the staff of the Case Western 
Reserve University law school on October 4, 1971, as building 
superintendent when the law school was located on Adelbert Road in 
Cleveland, Ohio. Since then he has worked tirelessly providing support 
for over one hundred faculty and staff, over six hundred students, and 
to keep the facilities of the building running smoothly.
  Phillip's calm demeanor and great sense of humor have become an 
invaluable presence at the law school as well as his ability to prepare 
the building for classes and special events. Phillip has also been 
described by some as, ``The ultimate handyman''. When Phillip is not 
working in the law school, he can be found working on carpentry and 
construction projects at his home.
  In 2004, Phillip Morris was chosen as one of three recipients of the 
President's Award for Distinguished Service at Case Western Reserve 
University. This is the highest award that the University confers on 
its staff personnel. The award recognizes an individual's dedication to 
provide outstanding service to the Case Western Reserve University 
community.
  Phillip Morris retired from his work on February 1, 2008. Phillip and 
his wife will enjoy retirement in their newly purchased home in the 
suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee.
  On behalf of the Eleventh Congressional District of Ohio it gives me 
great pleasure to congratulate my friend, Phillip Morris, for his 
service to Case Western Reserve University, and the Eleventh 
Congressional district of Ohio.
