  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Richard Lippe, one 
of New York's most outstanding attorneys. Mr. Lippe has received the 
Distinguished Leadership Award 2002 from the Coalition on Child Abuse 
and Neglect. This organization honors individuals who have made lasting 
contributions in communities.
  Mr. Lippe is the leader of the Corporate and Technology Law Group at 
Meltzer, Lippe, Goldstein & Schlissel, LLP. In 2001, the Long Island 
Business News named him one of the top 30 attorneys on Long Island. In 
June of 2002, Governor Pataki appointed Mr. Lippe to the New York State 
Science, Technology and Academic Research Advisory Council for a second 
term.
  Along with his many professional contributions, he is also very 
involved in the community. Richard Lippe is a founder, general counsel 
and member of the Board of Directors of the Long Island Software and 
Technology Network. He also serves as general counsel and member of the 
Board of Directors of the Long Island Life Services Initiative. Mr. 
Lippe is a member of the Board of Trustees of Huntington Hospital, the 
Nassau County Museum of Fine Art, and the Stony Brook Foundation.
  In addition to Mr. Lippe's professional accomplishments and community 
involvement, he and his wife Camila are the proud parents of three 
children (two grown), Wendy, David and Michael. It is with great 
enthusiasm that I congratulate the Lippe family on this wonderful 
honor.
