  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of 
Kimberly S. Jones, Esq., a well-respected attorney whose practice, the 
Law Firm of Kimberly S. Jones has served the Long Island community 
proudly. Today I applaud Kimberly and her firm for receiving the 2004 
Business of the Year Award of Excellence.
  As principle of this very successful law firm, Kimberly has 
established a strong commitment to the economic development of Long 
Island. A dedicated advocate for underrepresented members of the 
population, Kimberly, through the work of her firm, focuses on 
addressing the needs of women and minority business owners. She also 
serves as a member of the Advisory Board of the Dowling College Center 
for Minority Teacher Development and Training, further demonstrating 
her commitment to the community.
  The Law Firm of Kimberly S. Jones, Esq. is actively involved in the 
local bar associations, as well as the Suffolk County Women's Business 
Enterprise Coalition, where Kimberly serves as Assistant Director of 
State and Federal Services. It is Kimberly's involvement in these 
organizations that establishes her law firm as a successful business, 
improving the quality of life on Long Island.
  Although Kimberly is extremely busy, she still finds time to help the 
community in other areas. She is a member of the Urban League and is 
President of the Young Professionals of the Urban League of Long 
Island. Kimberly is an individual devoted to her community and this is 
evident through the work of her firm.
  I congratulate Kimberly and her firm on receiving this honor and 
applaud her devotion to helping others. She dedicates herself to 
improving the lives of others and I thank her for this on behalf of the 
people of not only the 4th Congressional District but the people of 
Long Island who benefit from her hard work and dedication.
