                        Tuesday, March 25, 2014

  Mr. ENYART. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an outstanding 
institution of higher education in Illinois. Southern Illinois 
University School of Law celebrates its 40th anniversary this month.
  We spend our time on the House floor discussing, debating, and voting 
on laws which impact American citizens, while the faculty and staff of 
SIU Law develop the next generation of great legal minds.
  With humble beginnings in 1973, that first year began with 90 
students and 8 faculty members. SIU Law today is a nationally 
recognized institution with alumni practicing in 49 states and 11 
countries. The school's 3,800 graduates include military general 
officers, over 90 state and federal judges, and at least one United 
States Congressman.
  Please join me in congratulating my alma mater, Southern Illinois 
University School of Law, for 40 years of serving students. Go Dawgs.
