                      TRIBUTE TO ARIEL B. WALDMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ADAM B. SCHIFF

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 19, 2011

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, for myself and Mr. Goodlatte, as the Chair 
and Ranking Member respectively of the Committee on the Judiciary's 
Task Force on Judicial Impeachment in the previous Congress, we would 
like to take this opportunity to recognize Arid B. Waldman who recently 
left the House to take a position with the Office of the Attorney 
General for the District of Columbia. Mr. Waldman served in the Office 
of the General Counsel for 18 months as an Assistant Counsel. We will 
miss him.
  Mr. Waldman provided important legal advice and representation to the 
Committee and Task Force, particularly in connection with federal court 
litigation that arose out of an impeachment investigation and 
proceeding involving a federal judge from Louisiana. We and our 
respective staffs relied on his expertise and judgment to prepare legal 
pleadings and briefs, which ably and effectively defended the Task 
Force's ability to conduct its inquiry, and which resulted in rulings 
favorable to the Committee and Task Force in each instance.
  Mr. Waldman served the House with distinction, and we know he will 
serve the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia 
with that same level of distinction. We thank him for his service to 
the House and extend to him our very best wishes for his continued 
success.
