  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor and pleasure that 
I stand before you today to recognize the many accomplishments of Mr. 
Lowell E. Enslen. I can truly say that Lowell is a dedicated, 
distinguished and committed citizen. I have known him since 1973, and 
besides the practice of law he has been one of the most caring people 
involved in his community. Lowell has practiced law in Hammond and has 
served the community for over 50 years, including dedicated service to 
many charitable and civic organizations. His career as a lawyer has 
allowed him the opportunity to touch the lives of numerous people. For 
many years Lowell has helped with the induction of new citizens in 
cooperation with the Federal District Court of Hammond, Indiana on the 
Fourth of July. Mayor Thomas McDermott showed his appreciation and 
gratitude for the lifetime of service of Colonel Lowell E. Enslen by 
proclaiming July 4, 2004 as Colonel Lowell E. Enslen Day.
  Lowell E. Enslen was born in Gary, Indiana in 1927. He attended 
Hobart public schools and Valparaiso University. Lowell was admitted to 
the American Bar Association in 1952. He was National President of 
Sigma Delta Kappa from 1963-1964, Town Attorney of Dyer, Indiana from 
1957-1960, 1962, and 1964-1972 and of Cedar Lake, Indiana, from 1976-
1980. Lowell has accomplished many visionary goals throughout his 
career. Before and during his service to the Hammond Community, Lowell 
served America honorably as a

soldier and an officer in the United States Marine Corps, rising to the 
rank of Colonel. He is a member of Enslen, Enslen & Matthews Law Firm, 
which was established in 1960. Enslen, Enslen, & Matthews Law Firm 
provides general civil, criminal and appellate practice in all State 
and Federal courts, family/domestic relations, probate and estate 
planning, insurance, real estate and labor relations law.
  Not only has Lowell Enslen had many accomplishments throughout his 
career as a lawyer, he has also actively contributed to his community 
through participation in various programs designed at improving 
opportunities for the people of Northwest Indiana. Lowell was President 
of Members Hammond from 1965-1966 and is currently affiliated with Lake 
County, Indiana State, and American Bar Associations, the American 
Judicature Society, the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association, the 
Association of Trial Lawyers of America, and the Fellow Indiana Bar 
Foundation. Along with his many other accomplishments, Lowell has 
received numerous certificates and awards.
  Lowell has demonstrated his faithfulness by his extraordinary service 
to Enslen, Enslen, & Matthews and his community through his hard work 
and self-sacrifice. Although Lowell has served on numerous committees 
and has dedicated his time to Enslen, Enslen, & Matthews, he has never 
neglected to provide support and love to his family.
  Mr. Speaker, Lowell E. Enslen has given his time and efforts 
selflessly to the people of Northwest Indiana throughout his years of 
service. I am proud to commend him for his lifetime of service and 
dedication.
