  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today to recognize and 
honor Mr. Bill Murphy for his work in the South Buffalo community. Mr. 
Murphy has dedicated his career to helping area labor unions and 
injured workers in their legal battles against insurance companies and 
those that caused them harm.
   Mr. Murphy is a Bishop Timon high school class of 1989 graduate as 
well as a graduate of Medaille College where he earned his Bachelor's 
Degree. He would then go on to enroll in the University at Buffalo Law 
School where he developed the skills which made him a partner at the 
law firm Maxwell Murphy. Mr. Murphy prides himself on his Buffalo roots 
and on his ability to help those who live in his native town.
   The contributions that Mr. Murphy has made to the South Buffalo 
community are many and varied. He has served as a Chairman of the Timon 
Lawn Fete and Timon Sports Night. Both he and his law firm have donated 
to various community events throughout Western New York, and they have 
supported such events as the ``Run Jimmy Run'' Charity Race, the annual 
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Golf Outing, and the Mount Mercy Academy 5K. 
Additionally Mr. Murphy's law firm helped the students of Saints Peter 
and Paul Grade School to purchase new hockey uniforms to replace their 
worn jerseys.
   Mr. Speaker, thank you for allowing me a few moments to honor and 
recognize Mr. Bill Murphy. I ask that my colleagues join me 
congratulating Mr. Murphy on an accomplished career, and to commend him 
for the exemplary work he has done to enrich the communities of Western 
New York.
