SALUTING JUDGE BRUCE EINHORN
______
HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN
of california
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, June 15, 2004
Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to join in saluting my friend, Judge Bruce Einhorn, Chair of the Pacific Southwest Regional Board of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). He is a remarkable man whose accomplishments are legion.
During Judge Einhorn's tenure as Regional Chair, the organization pressed law enforcement authorities for vigorous application of appropriate hate crimes laws, and successfully opposed the deceptively named ``Racial Privacy Initiative.'' He helped the ADL prevent the spread of hatred and intolerance through the creation of new and ongoing programs designed to fight the defamation of the Jewish people and ensure justice and fair treatment for all. He also served as Chair of the ADL's San Fernando, Conejo and Antelope Valley Boards.
He is presently an ADL National Commissioner and is a member of both the League's Executive Committee for the Pacific Southwest Region and its Latino-Jewish Round Table. Also, he is a founding member of both the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC and the Museum of Tolerance in West Los Angeles.
In addition to his work with non-profits, Judge Einhorn has developed an impressive legal career. He is a well-respected Los Angeles U.S. Immigration Judge. He also serves as Adjunct Professor of International Human Rights Law and War Crimes Studies at Pepperdine University's School of Law, where he received the 1997 David W. McKibbin Excellence in Teaching Award. For 11 years, Judge Einhorn served as a trial attorney and later as a Deputy Director and Litigation Chief for the U.S. Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations, the agency responsible for seeking the identification and prosecution of Nazi war criminals residing illegally in the United States.
Judge Einhorn's commitment to civil rights, justice and tolerance for all people has been repeatedly recognized. He is the proud recipient of the U.S. Attorney General's Special Commendation Award and the State of Israel Bonds Lifetime Professional Achievement Award. In October 1999, in the presence of President Bill Clinton, he also received the Ginsberg Prize for Leadership in Civil Rights from the Anti-Defamation League at its National Commission Convention in Atlanta, Georgia.
Please join me in honoring Judge Bruce Einhorn and thanking him for his outstanding contributions to our community and for his steadfast commitment to the ADL's critical mission.
