“I support this bill and I want to commend both the gentlemen from Nevada (Mr. Ensign) and (Mr. Gibbons) for their hard work in bringing forth this meritorious designation. Judge George, in addition to all the plaudits made by our distinguished chairman, has served on various judicial committees in the 9th Circuit. In addition to all those official duties, very active in civic and professional associations in Nevada that distinguishes him from many other jurists, Judge George was the recipient of the Jurist of the Year Award and the Brigham Young Alumni Distinguished Service Award. Judge George is the former president of the Clark County Association for retarded children, showing the diversity of the community activity which has established him as a strong community support. He has also served on the Advisory Committee for the Marriott School of Management. Taking the time with the people to advise in such a capacity, I think, underscores the type of involvement this jurist has given to his community and to the Nation. Through his long and distinguished career, Judge George has been a mentor and an advisor to many young lawyers.”
