                      Wednesday, January 13, 2010

  Mr. CARSON of Indiana. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Rod 
Morgan, a remarkable jurist from Indiana's 7th Congressional District, 
who recently became the first African American to serve as president of 
the Indiana State Bar Association. I applaud Mr. Morgan for this 
monumental achievement.
  Currently a partner at Bingham McHale LLP in Indianapolis, Mr. Rod 
Morgan's legal career has been vast and varied. His career has touched 
upon nearly every aspect of jurisprudence from serving as an Army Judge 
Advocate General, to acting as a legal advisor to numerous military and 
political leaders, to teaching law and writing scholarly papers. Mr. 
Morgan is also an active member of the community, serving on numerous 
boards and associations, recently serving as president of the 
Indianapolis Black Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the Partnership 
for Affordable Housing. His election as president of the Indiana State 
Bar Association marks yet another milestone in an exemplary career.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. Rod Morgan and 
wishing him the best of luck in his latest endeavor.
