  Mr. FAZIO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Bob and Lynn

Carmichael Chamber of Commerce.
  Mr. and Mrs. Martinez have been active members of the business 
community in Carmichael since 1975 when they opened Jose's Mexican 
Restaurant. Bob is a former board member of both the Carmichael and 
Sacramento Metropolitan Chambers of Commerce, and was the Honorary 
Mayor of Carmichael in 1992 and 1993. Lynn has spent 20 years teaching 
in the local schools. The Martinez's also owns Jose's Mexican 
Restaurants in Honolulu and Kona, Hawaii, Jose's Taco Hut, and Robert 
Martinez Realty.
  Bob Martinez has been recognized as a positive role model and has 
received numerous awards for his community service. In 1991 he was 
honored by Attorney General Dan Lungren for his exceptional community 
service. In 1992 he was recognized by the Mexican-American Correctional 
Association for being a Hispanic community role model and in 1993 he 
received the President's Eagle Award for outstanding statewide and 
community service.
  Active in their neighborhood, Bob and Lynn Martinez are involved in a 
host of service, school and community organizations, including: the 
Easter Seals, Rotary Club, Women Escaping a Violent Environment, the 
Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of 
America, and local high, junior high and elementary schools. 
Furthermore, Bob and Lynn are members of their local Presbyterian 
church, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Mexican-American 
Education Association and the Flying Samaritans. Mr. Speaker, Bob and 
Lynn Martinez are appropriately being honored by the Carmichael Chamber 
of Commerce as Business Persons of the Year.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my fellow Members to join me, the Carmichael 
Chamber of Commerce, and the Martinez family in congratulating Bob and 
Lynn on their accomplishments in business and the community service.
