(Extensions of Remarks - July 18, 2003)

• Mr. PLATTS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the 76th Annual Registers of Wills and Clerks of Orphans' Court Association of Pennsylvania Conference. The conference will be held July 21-25, 2003 in the 19th Congressional District of Pennsylvania. In past years, the Conference has been held throughout the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I am certainly very pleased that this year's conference is being hosted in my district by York County Register of Wills, the Honorable Bradley C. Jacobs.
• Among the many services available through the elected Registers of Wills and Clerks of Orphans' Court, constituents are able to probate wills, receive Letters Testamentary and Letters of Administration, apply for marriage licenses and research their family genealogy. At the conference, Registers and Clerks will discuss more efficient policies and procedures related to their duties. As stated in the Constitution and by-Laws of the Registers of Wills and Clerks of Orphans' Court Association of Pennsylvania, an annual meeting must be held once a year in Pennsylvania as arranged by the President of the Association. President Larry Medaglia appointed Bradley C. Jacobs as host and Bill Walters, retired Register of Wills and Clerk of Orphans' Court of York County, as honorary chairman for the event. There will be approximately 120 attendees including elected Registers and Clerks, Deputies and other guests. In addition, attendees will be able to enjoy the wonderful food and musical entertainment in the City of York.
• I am pleased to welcome the 76th Annual Registers of Wills and Clerks of Orphans' Court Association of Pennsylvania Conference to the City of York and commend the commitment to public service of each of the Association's members.
