  Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Kathryn 
Gallanis Matern, an accomplished attorney and the next president of the 
Women's Bar Association of Illinois.
  After receiving her Juris Doctorate from The John Marshall Law School 
in Chicago, Ms. Gallanis Matern made a name for herself as the lead 
prosecutor while working for the Assistant State's Attorney's Felony 
Trial Division. Many of her cases, most notably the Keystone Case, 
received substantial attention from the national media.
  Outside of her professional duties, Ms. Gallanis Matern remains very 
busy. Her involvement in the community includes volunteering for the 
Junior League of Chicago and the New Trier Citizen's League, as well as 
being the acting Vice President of the Chicago Republican Women's 
Network. These achievements have culminated in her becoming the next 
president of the Women's Bar Association of Illinois.
  It is my honor to recognize Kathryn Gallanis Matern, an accomplished 
attorney, volunteer, and member of Chicagoland women's associations.
