Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient Irving R. Kaufman
IRVING ROBERT KAUFMAN
Awarded by
President Ronald Reagan
October 7, 1987
Irving Robert Kaufman became an assistant Federal prosecutor at the age of 25. More than five decades later, both his energy and his devotion to the rule of law remain utterly unflagging. Assistant Federal prosecutor, Special Assistant to the United States Attorney General, District Court judge, judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, member of countless panels and commissions, including the leadership of the President's Commission on Organized Crime--Judge Kaufman has brought to each his practical skills, his zeal for justice, and, again, that remarkable energy. He is a distinguished jurist and a great American.
Judge Irving R. Kaufman (L) laughs at a remark made by President Reagan at a White House ceremony, October 7th. The president presented the medal of freedom to Kaufman, a retired federal appeals judge.
