  Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize and extend my 
sincerest wishes to Presiding Judge George B. Daniels of the United 
States District Court of Southern District in New York on the occasion 
of his 65th birthday and life of service.
  Judge Daniels began his legal career as a criminal defense attorney 
for the Legal Aid Society of New York, one of the oldest non-profit 
providers of legal aid across the nation. Judge Daniels earned his 
Bachelor of Arts degree in American Studies from Yale University in 
1975. In 1978, obtained a law degree from the University of California, 
Berkeley. Among other accomplishments in a distinguished career, in 
February of 2000, he was appointed to the United States District Court 
for the Southern District of New York, where he serves today.
  Judge Daniels is an adjunct Professor at Brooklyn Law School, serves 
on numerous boards and commissions and is engaged with many law and 
professional organizations. The members of New York's legal community 
are grateful for his service and are inspired by his lifelong 
contributions towards strengthening our judicial system to protect and 
uphold the rights and liberties of all Americans.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking Judge George B. Daniels 
for his life-time of public service and to wish him a memorable 65th 
birthday.
