              COMMEMORATING DOROTHY LEVIN'S 100TH BIRTHDAY

  (Ms. PORTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor my constituent and proud 
Californian, Dorothy Levin. Dorothy is celebrating her 100th birthday, 
and I am thrilled to join her friends and family in commemorating this 
remarkable milestone.
  Dorothy was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 12, 1923, and moved to 
southern California with her family in 1952.
  In 1958, while raising her three young children, Dorothy decided to 
attend law school. She graduated and passed the California Bar exam but 
was unable to find a job in a male-dominated field, so she opened her 
own firm, where she practiced until her retirement in 1994.
  Dorothy's unwavering dedication, tenacity, and courage have helped 
pave the way for generations of women in the legal profession.
  I wish Dorothy a happy 100th birthday. I am so thankful for her 
trailblazing work, and I am proud to honor her today.
