  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the 
accomplishments of Mr. Daniel J. Tann, Esquire, who was born and raised 
in Philadelphia and has continued to work tirelessly as an ``attorney 
for all generations.'' A graduate of LaSalle University and Drake 
University Law School, Mr. Tann has not only fulfilled his dream of 
founding his own law offices but has also worked as a tireless advocate 
for a number of social organizations in Philadelphia.
  Mr. Tann began his illustrious legal career at Drake University, 
where he was named President of the local chapter of the Black Law 
Students of America, and was recognized in ``Who's Who Among American 
Law Students.'' In 1985, he began practicing law in Philadelphia at 
Spear, Wilderman, Sigmond, Borish, Endy, and Silverstein, where he soon 
became the department manager of the general practice group. Later, he 
became the Senior Litigation Attorney with Gordon and Weinberg, P.C., 
and in January 2002, he fulfilled his personal dream when he founded 
the Law of Offices of Daniel J. Tan. He is involved in work with The 
National Bar Association, The Philadelphia Bar Association, The 
American Bar Association, The NAACP, Volunteers in Aid of Sickle Cell 
Anemia, the Gloucester County Minority Coalition, American Diabetes 
Foundation, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Philadelphia Boy Scouts of 
America, and the Fair Housing Council of Southern New Jersey. Mr. Tann 
will be honored by the Marian Anderson Historical Society on May 31, 
2014.
  It is a privilege to recognize a person whose leadership and 
commitment have inspired and supported so many in our region. I ask you 
and my other distinguished colleagues to join me in commending Mr. Tann 
for his lifetime of service and dedication to Pennsylvania's First 
Congressional District.
