handle is hein.journals/stlolane22 and id is 1 raw text is: Section of Urban, State and Local Government Law American Bar Association Vol. 7, No. 1, Summer 1983 Patrick J. Falvey to Become Section Chairman Patrick J. Falvey, general counsel and assistant executive director of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey will become Chairman of the Section with the expiration of Manly M. Mumford's term at the v conclusion of the ABA's upcoming A 0 Atlanta meeting in August. Under __ the Section's Bylaws, Pat, who is currently Chairman-Elect, auto- matically assumes the Chairman- ship at the end of his predeces- sor's term. Pat has long been active in Section affairs, serving as a member of the Council and holding various Section offices. One of his most noteworthy contributions to both the Section and the ABA has been his work on the model procurement code for state and local governments. Together with representatives of the Public Contract Law Section and with Sherwin Birnkrant and Lou Del Duca of our Section, Pat worked on innumerable drafts of what ultimately became the Model Procurement Code, which the ABA House of Delegates unanimously approved in 1979. Following this approval, Pat and his colleagues continued to work on drafting regulations for the Code as well as finalizing a model procurement ordinance for local government. Many states, countries, cities and other units of local government have already adopted the Code and its accompanying regula- tions, and a great many more are expected to do so in the next few years. The Code represents one of the major accomplish- ments of our Section in recent years and its successful comple- tion is due in no small part to Pat Falvey. In Lou Del Duca's words, Pat brought to his work on the Code a wealth of prac- tical experience and knowledge in the public procurement field and a genius for developing viable solutions out of conflicting and even hostile positions, which, Lou added, saved the day on many occasions. As Port Authority general counsel, Pat is the legal advisor to the Authority's twelve Commissioners and directs a law depart- ment of 57 lawyers. The Port Authority's facilities include Ken- nedy, LaGuardia and Newark Airports, the George Washington Bridge and the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, an interstate com- muter railroad (PATH), the World Trade Center, two bus ter- minals and various marine terminals in both States. Pat has spent his professional career in the Port Authority Law Depart- ment, joining it in 1951. Only last year he received the Port Authority's highest honor, its Howard S. Cullman Distinguished Service Medal. In conferring this award on Pat, the Authority's (continued on next page) Annual Meeting Program Highlights Vice-Chairman Gene Corrigan has put together an outstanding program for the Section's 1983 Annual Meeting this August in Atlanta. There are timely up-dates on tax-exempt financing, air- port law, civil rights, secondary mortgages, human resources, public sector labor law issues, state and federal roles in land use matters, school law, as well as a discussion on the legal resources available to government lawyers. The meeting con- cludes with Bob Freilich's always stimulating annual view of municipal law. Three of the programs are showcase presenta- tions. In addition, Gene has organized various social events, in- cluding a reception and dinner-dance featuring the Mary Sue Taylor quartet. With unbounded enthusiasm Gene writes that Mary Sue Taylor is absolutely the finest jazz pianist ... I have ever heard. I know that everyone will enjoy her music, whether she be playing various types of jazz, or swing .... She can and will play the kind of music that our group wants her to play, in- cluding dance music, background music, showcase music, loud or soft music .... By choice, she seldom plays outside the Atlanta area. We are really fortunate to have gotten her for our function. The full program can be found on page 3 of this Newsletter.
