                        Monday, October 29, 2001

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to 
Brent Dorian for his years of dedicated public service as a U.S. 
Bankruptcy Judge in Fresno, CA. After almost 12 years on the bench, 
Judge Dorian retired last year.
  Brett served in the U.S. Air Force. After the military, he studied 
law and graduated from Boalt Hall School of Law, University of 
California at Berkeley. After making a substantial contribution to 
under-served people in the community, Brett Dorian went on to have a 
very distinguished career as a civil practice attorney, bankruptcy 
lawyer, and bankruptcy trustee.
  In 1988, Judge Dorian assumed the Federal bankruptcy bench in Fresno 
and handled thousands of cases from an 8 county area in Central 
California. During Judge Dorian's tenure on the bench he has earned a 
reputation as a brillant jurist committed to following the law and 
protecting the rights of the citizens and persons who appeared before 
him. Judge Dorian has done many things for our community, the courts 
and and the nation. It is a pleasure and privilege to honor such a 
distinguished man as he begins yet another facet of his life.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay high tribute to Judge Brett Dorian for his 
active distinguished community and public service. I urge my colleagues 
in the U.S. House of Representative to join me in wishing Judge Dorian 
many more years of good health, happiness, and contribution to the 
people of central California.
