  Mr. PATRICK J. MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
honor Bucks County resident Robert ``Bob'' Sugarman for his lifetime of 
extraordinary accomplishments.
  Among his many accolades, Mr. Sugarman is an internationally 
recognized environmental litigator for his practice, Sugarman & Marks, 
LLP. Mr. Sugarman has protected countless local, State, and national 
natural resources, including the Great Lakes, the Hudson and Delaware 
Rivers, and many irreplaceable local treasures.
  In addition to his environmental litigation accomplishments, Mr. 
Sugarman has also worked tirelessly to protect numerous historic sites 
throughout Bucks County and the city of Philadelphia. Thanks to his 
incredible efforts, future generations will be able to experience, 
appreciate and enjoy the charm, history and beauty of southeastern 
Pennsylvania.
  Besides serving the local and State communities through his 
involvement with various organizations, Mr. Sugarman was also appointed 
by President Jimmy Carter to represent America as the United States 
Commissioner for the International Joint Commission for United States 
and Canada. In this post he helped found Great Lakes United, an 
international and interstate effort to protect the precious Great 
Lakes.
  Madam Speaker, Mr. Sugarman is an extraordinary citizen who has 
helped protect the invaluable natural resources and history of the 
United States. His efforts have preserved these resources for the 
future, and he has truly affected the international, national, and 
local communities in wonderful ways. I am honored to recognize my close 
friend and mentor, Bob Sugarman, for his many accomplishments.
