Mr. Brown is here, Mr. Chairman and members of the committee. I have known Mr. Brown for some time. He is a very active and prominent lawyer in my city of Philadelphia. He will supply such other information as I do not. I simply want to say that he was born in the city of Philadelphia on January 19, 1928; he is married and has one daughter; he is at graduate of our Central High School, which is one of our best schools in the quality of its educational training, and also from Temple University with a degree of bachelor of science, and from the University of Pennsylvania Law School with the LL.B. degree in June of 1955. He has been admitted to the practice of law and has been associated with a firm presently known as Norris, Brown & Hall, which formerly included the eminent Judge Higginbotham of the Federal Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. He has been in charge of the Office of Fraud Prevention, as chief of that office in the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, and was until recently serving as Deputy District Attorney in Philadelphia.
