On the recordSeptember 23, 1997
I join Mr. Kim in supporting H.R. 824, a bill to designate the National Courts Building here in Washington in honor of Judge Howard Markey. Judge Markey was the first active judge to have sat with every Federal Court of Appeals. He participated in over 1,400 cases and wrote more than 250 opinions for the regional courts and over 800 opinions for the Court of Customs. He is a World War II and Korean war veteran and his biography is filled with numerous honors and distinctions. It is most fitting to honor Judge Markey in this manner.
