                             HON. SAM FARR

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 21, 2007

  Mr. FARR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the achievements of a 
man who is a true defender of the needs and interests of injured 
workers. Michael Rucka's long and distinguished career has proven him 
to be worthy of the Workers Injury Litigation Group Lifetime 
Achievement Award, which he will receive on June 23, 2007.
  As a senior founding partner of the Rucka, O'Boyle, Lombaro & McKenna 
Attorney practice, Michael proves to be an outstanding and committed 
leader. Not only does his hard work make him shine as a perfect 
candidate for the Lifetime Achievement Award, but Michael's pursuit of 
reform in worker's compensation systems in the United States also 
highlights his devotion to his career but especially to his clients--
the working man and woman.
  Madam Speaker, Michael Rucka exemplifies exceptional skill and 
service to a worthy social cause and I am honored to be able to 
acknowledge him as one of the most valuable lawyers of our time. The 
contributions and efforts that he has made and will continue to make 
are invaluable.
