                           HON. ANNA G. ESHOO

                          Friday, May 20, 1994

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute John V. Beahrs, a 
dedicated community leader from California's 14th Congressional 
District who was recently honored by the Palo Alto Senior Coordinating 
Council with its prestigious Lifetime of Achievement Award.
  John V. Beahrs has balanced a 40-year career in the marine insurance 
business with a remarkable commitment to community service. He served 
as a forthright member of the Palo Alto City Council from 1963 to 1977, 
coining the term ``balanced community'' as a civic goal. His public 
service includes working as founding president of the board of 
directors of the former Palo Alto Stanford Hospital Center, founding 
president of the board of directors for the Bay Area Hospital Council, 
former director of the Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital, and 
former director of the Ronald McDonald House. In addition, he has been 
an extraordinary volunteer for the Senior Coordinating Council of Palo 
Alto, Family Service Association of the Mid-Peninsula, Palo Alto 
Historical Association, and St. Mark's Episcopal Church.
  Mr. Speaker, John V. Beahrs is an outstanding member of our 
community. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating him on 
receiving a Lifetime of Achievement Award.
