  CONGRATULATING LISA KAPLAN AND BRAD SHERMAN ON THEIR RECENT WEDDING

  (Mrs. CAPPS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. CAPPS. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise to 
congratulate our colleague, Brad Sherman, and his wonderful new wife, 
Lisa Kaplan, on their recent wedding. On Sunday, I happily joined Lisa 
and Brad

at the beautiful Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, where they exchanged their 
vows surrounded by family and friends.
  The groom, as we all know, is a fine and thoughtful gentleman who 
serves his constituents in southern California with great distinction, 
and is a dear friend to many of us. The bride is also a charming and 
wonderful individual. She does important work in the Office of Global 
Anti-Semitism at the State Department.
  Now, I am sorry the newlyweds must spend their honeymoon here in the 
lame duck session, but I know they have a more romantic trip planned in 
the near future. I want to congratulate Lisa's father and stepmother, 
Robert and Peggy Kaplan, and honor the memory of her mother, Carol 
Weisberg.
  I also want to honor the memory of Brad's father, Maurice Sherman, 
and congratulate his mom, my dear friend Lane Sherman. To Lisa and 
Brad, we wish you a life together of health and happiness. Mazel Tov.
