Mr. Speaker, This legislation will honor Judge Edward J. Schwartz for his long and distinguished judicial career. He began his legal career as a jurist in 1959 with an appointment to the municipal bench by Governor Pat Brown. Judge Schwartz was appointed to the Federal bench in 1968 by President Johnson, becoming the first judge in the newly created District of Southern California. He was the district's chief judge for 13 years and now even at age 81, Judge Schwartz still tries cases. Judge Schwartz is beloved by the San Diego legal community, having served for decades with dignity and distinction. I urge adoption of H.R. 3770 and I reserve the balance of my time.
