deserving recipient of the Judge Learned Hand Human Relations Award, 
Stephen Ritchie. Presented by the American Jewish Committee (AJC), this 
honor is given to distinguished attorneys who have shown an exceptional 
commitment to justice, individual rights, and civic leadership.
  To those who know Steve, it is no surprise that he is receiving this 
prestigious recognition. Steve has earned a reputation among his 
clients and within our community for excellence and leadership. 
Throughout the past decade, he has consistently been recognized as one 
of the best lawyers in America, all while showing remarkable dedication 
to his family and civic and charitable endeavors. Through his service 
to AJC Chicago, AIPAC's Illinois council, Teach for America, and the 
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Steve has made a true imprint 
on our community and our nation.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to consider Steve a friend and congratulate 
him on receiving the Judge Learned Hand Human Relations Award.
