                               SANDY PERL

  (Mr. DOLD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOLD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Sandy Perl for 
receiving the AJC's prestigious Judge Learned Hand Human Relations 
Award. The Learned Hand Award is presented to leaders in the legal 
profession who display the highest principles and ideals of 
humanitarianism and betterment of the community.
  In both his professional and community activities, Sandy Perl has 
shown that he carries on in this proud tradition. A native of the 10th 
District of Illinois, Sandy has served in a number of leadership roles 
at his firm and is consistently recognized as one of the top lawyers in 
his industry.
  But what makes Sandy stand out for this well-deserved recognition is 
his commitment to civic and charitable causes. Through his active 
leadership in organizations such as the Jewish Federation and the 
Golden Apple Foundation, which recognizes excellence in teaching, and 
through his work on global issues with the Chicago chapter of the AJC 
and with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Sandy has 
dedicated himself to improving his community and fighting for important 
causes worldwide.
  I want to congratulate my friend Sandy Perl on this tremendous honor, 
the Learned Hand Award.
