                    BIRTHDAY WISHES TO GEORGE GOLSON

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise today to express my congratulations 
and best wishes to George Golson on the occasion of his 90th birthday. 
A devoted husband, a father of four children, an industrious 
businessman, an accomplished jurist, and a veteran of World War II, 
George Golson has led a distinguished life.
  Born on October 24, 1913, George received his undergraduate education 
at the University of Columbia, NY, and his legal education at St. 
John's University. After practicing law for several years in New York, 
he served his country proudly for 4 years during World War II in the 
Judge Adjutant General office in Liverpool, England.
  Upon his return from military service, George Golson built a new home 
in Columbia, SC, and launched a new career in business. He returned to 
legal practice in 1958 as a member of the South Carolina Bar, and in 
1973 was admitted to serve as Attorney of Law in the Supreme Court of 
the United States.
  In 1980, George Golson established an office in Las Vegas to provide 
consulting services on legal matters in the field of real estate 
planning. He became a respected and beloved member of the southern 
Nevada community, and his work contributed to the dramatic growth and 
development of the State.
  Throughout his long and productive life, George has made the most of 
his free time. He has challenged himself both intellectually and 
athletically by writing short stories, composing ballads, music, and 
lyrics, fishing, and playing racquetball.
  Please join me in wishing George Golson the happiest of birthdays.
