  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, last week in Washington D.C., 
members of the American Bar Association (ABA)--including State, local 
and specialty bar leaders from throughout the USA--gathered to meet 
with Members of Congress and Administration officials about issues of 
importance to the legal profession and to the administration of 
justice.
  Among the participants was one of my constituents, William T. (Bill)

President-Elect Nominee.

leader in his profession and his community. Bill successfully completed 
his three year term as ABA Treasurer in August 2008 and currently 
serves as Chairman of the ABA Governmental Affairs Committee.
