  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor one of the outstanding 
citizens of California's 14th Congressional District, George M. Marcus, 
who was recently inducted into the Business Hall of Fame by the Santa 
Clara County Chapter of Junior Achievement. I have known George Marcus 
well for many years and there is no one more deserving of this 
prestigious honor.
  George Marcus was born in Limni, Greece and earned his B.A. in 
economics from San Francisco State University in 1965.
  He has been a driving force in commercial real estate in the San 
Francisco Bay Area since he first founded G.M. Marcus & Co. in 1971, 
and is now the president of the Marcus & Millichap Co., one of the 
Nation's premier commercial real estate, investment, and development 
firms.
  George Marcus is devoted to a variety of community and civic 
endeavors and always makes time in his busy schedule to lend his 
considerable talents to such organizations as the San Jose/Cleveland 
Ballet, the University of California, Berkeley, Center for Real Estate 
and Urban Economics, and the St. Nicholas Greek-Orthodox Church, As a 
business leader in our community, George Marcus is an exemplary civic 
activist known for his integrity, generosity, and commitment.
  His outstanding success in business and dedication to the community 
were recognized by San Francisco State University in 1989 when he was 
presented with its Alumnus of the Year Award. His contributions to our 
Nation have received public acclaim when he was awarded The Ellis 
Island Medal of Honor, given to distinguished Americans who perform 
outstanding service to humanity in any field, profession, or 
occupation.
  In all of his work, George Marcus has been supported by his devoted 
wife Judy and their four wonderful children.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in saluting George 
Marcus, a preeminent business leader and a genuine American hero.
