  Mr. CRAMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the distinguished 
career of Chief Justice Sue Bell Cobb.
  On April 12th, Justice Cobb was honored with the Albert P. Brewer 
Award for outstanding public service to the State of Alabama.
  Chief Justice Cobb has dedicated over 27 years of her life to serving 
the people of the State of Alabama. She began her service as Chief 
Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court in 2007.
  Throughout her career, Justice Cobb has made protecting our Nation's 
children one of her highest priorities. She has served as the President 
of the Alabama Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges and the 
Chairwoman of the Children First Foundation. For her efforts, Justice 
Cobb has been recognized by the Child Welfare League of America and the 
National Juvenile Detention Association.
  Additionally, Justice Cobb has been an advocate for the American 
Cancer Society. She has served as the Chairwoman of the Alabama 
Division of the American Cancer Society and has been named as the 
Volunteer of the Year by that organization. Additionally, she has been 
awarded the St. George Medal, the highest national award given by the 
American Cancer Society.
  I applaud Justice Sue Bell Cobb on her outstanding judicial career 
and I thank her for her tireless efforts on behalf of the men and women 
of the State of Alabama.
