1985 Congressional Record
Recognizing James E. Blatt for his outstanding achievement
House of Representatives
Vol. 131 Tribute to Jim Blatt No. 17
Hon. Howard L. Berman
Of California
In the House of Representatives
Thursday, February 21, 1985
Mr. Berman. Mr. Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to recognize a close friend and a respected constituent as he leaves the presidency of the San Fernando Valley Criminal Bar Association.
In addition to his unselfish contribution to the bar association, Jim served 3 years as a deputy district attorney and has been active in many community projects.
However, I think the most striking example of Jim’s character-and one of the reasons I hold him in such admiration-is the concern he has shown for the youth in our community. From 1978 through 1979 he was president of the board of directors of Cry Help, a narcotics rehabilitation program. During that period he also found time to work as a member of the field operations staff for specialty youth programs.
Today I have the honor of expressing my sincere affection and admiration for a man that deserves the profound gratitude of his community. I ask the Members to join the San Fernando Criminal Bar Association in expressing their appreciation and wishing Jim Blatt great and continued success.
