                      Thursday, November 17, 2011

  Mr. McKINLEY. Mr. Speaker, today I was proud to introduce H.R. 3451, 
a bill that would name the Federal Courthouse in Wheeling, WV after one 
of our country's leading and most respected jurists, Honorable 
Frederick P. Stamp, Jr., Federal Judge for the United States District 
Court for the Northern District of West Virginia.
  Judge Stamp has served with distinction and honor since he was 
nominated by President George H.W. Bush and then confirmed by the U.S. 
Senate in 1990 and served as the Chief Judge of the Court from 1994 to 
2001 before assuming senior status in 2006.
  Born in Wheeling, WV, Judge Stamp received a B.A. from Washington and 
Lee University in 1956, and attended the University of Virginia School 
of Law before receiving an LL.B. from the University of Richmond, T.C. 
Williams School of Law in 1959. Upon graduation, Judge Stamp was a 
private in the United States Army from 1959 to 1960, and a First 
Lieutenant in the United States Army Reserves from 1960 to 1967. Prior 
to his nomination to the Federal Court, he was in private practice in 
Wheeling, West Virginia from 1960 to 1990.
  Judge Stamp and his wife Joan are the proud parents of two children, 
Andy and Elizabeth.
  Mr. Speaker, it is truly a privilege for me to introduce this 
legislation to honor my friend Judge Frederick P. Stamp, Jr., and I 
urge my colleagues to support this legislation.
