  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor South 
Florida philanthropist, business leader and prominent attorney, Cliff 
Schulman.
  Mr. Schulman has 37 years of wide-ranging legal experience in the 
environmental and land use field from both the government and private 
sectors.
  He is well known for his involvement in the community and commitment 
to charitable causes. He is Chairman of the Board of the Aventura 
Marketing Council and serves on the Boards of the ``I Have a Dream'' 
Foundation and the Anchors Away Foundation, a program that provides 
specially designed sailboats for use by mentally and physically 
challenged children in the Miami-Dade public school system. He is also 
a member of the United Way of Miami-Dade Alexis de Tocqueville Society 
and a founder of Mt. Sinai Medical Center.
  In 2004, Mr. Schulman received the Anti-Defamation League's ``Torch 
of Freedom'' award and was recently named ``Impact Legal Leader'' by 
South Florida Business Leader Magazine, a distinction for individuals 
who have contributed significantly to their industry, as well as active 
participants in civic or philanthropic groups in the community.
  This month, the South Florida Shomrim Society Jewish Fraternal Order 
of Law Enforcement Officers is honoring him as ``Person of the Year''. 
This distinction is presented to Mr. Schulman for supporting the 
welfare of the local community and improving the public image of all 
persons engaged in public safety.
  He is listed in Legal 500 US, Best Lawyers in America and Florida 
Trend Magazine's ``Legal Elite.'' Additionally, Mr. Schulman serves as 
an adjunct professor at the University of Miami Law School's Masters 
Program.
  I am proud to have Mr. Schulman as a constituent and honor his 
distinguished career and leadership in the South Florida community.
