                       Thursday, December 9, 2010

  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Paul Regan for his 
remarkable 25 years of public service to the town of Hillsborough, 
California. Throughout every step of his career, Paul has provided 
strong leadership, insightful financial guidance, and an unwavering 
commitment to his community and his country.
  Through 35 years of thoughtful, diligent work in the field of 
forensic accounting, Paul has become a world-renowned expert who is 
widely acclaimed for his skill in researching complex financial 
scandals and disputes. Most would agree that he is the leading forensic 
accountant in the United States. He has lent his expertise to the 
Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and 
has testified as an expert witness before the

United States Congress as well as the World Court.
  Alongside this remarkable work in the private sector, Paul has an 
equally impressive record of public service to the town of 
Hillsborough. His expertise in financial matters during his years of 
service has been critical to the town's success. He joined the 
Hillsborough City School District Board of Trustees in 1985, and served 
as that body's President from 1986 to 1987 and then again from 1993 to 
1994. Paul has also been a member of the Town of Hillsborough City 
Council since 1998, and served as mayor from 2002 to 2004. In addition, 
he chaired the Sustainable Hillsborough Task Force, served on the 
Recreation Commission, the Central County Fire Board, and is currently 
our Finance Commissioner.
  In addition to all of this, Paul is a loving husband to his equally 
involved and gifted wife, Barbara, and a devoted father to their three 
children.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor the dedication and leadership of 
Paul Regan, and I encourage other members to join me in wishing him the 
very best in all of his future endeavors.
