  Mr. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to rise today to bring to my 
colleagues' attention the work of a distinguished public service 
organization, the Sacramento Chapter of the Japanese-American Citizens 
League.
  Over the years, the JACL has dedicated itself to improving the 
quality of life for all members of the Sacramento community. Through 
their commitment, the league has assisted many young students in 
furthering their education by offering scholarships to distinguished 
college-bound students.
  The Japanese-American Citizens League is most deserving of our thanks 
and praise for their efforts and compassion. There are few causes more 
worthwhile than those which encourage our young people in their efforts 
to further their education and contribute in a meaningful way to 
society.
  I wish to commend the league on this act of public service, and I 
extend my personal congratulations to each of these students for their 
academic excellence. Being honored with scholarships are: Hana 
Yoshikawa, Casa Roble Fundamental School; Toshio Kuratomi, C.K.
