                        TRIBUTE TO HENRY LEGASPI

                                 ______


                           HON. DUNCAN HUNTER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 28, 1994

  Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the retirement on June 
30, 1994, of an outstanding citizen in my district, Mr. Henry Legaspi. 
Hank Legaspi is finally turning out the light as manager of the power 
department of the Imperial Irrigation District in the southern 
California desert.
  A native of Calexico, CA, the transborder sister city of Mexicali, 
Mexico, Hank has continued the remarkable legacy of the Legaspi 
family's commitment to community service. Along with his brothers' many 
years of civic and public service, Hank has added his own 4 years, in 
several different capacities as an employee and a manager at the IID, 
one of the largest public utilities in the country.
  Through his leadership at the IID, the district has gone through a 
period of rapid growth, moving from a small, local customer base to 
become a provider of electric service throughout the southern 
California desert reaching from the Arizona and Mexican borders to the 
lush club of Palm Springs.
  I know I speak for the countless friends of Hank's and mine in the 
Imperial Valley in thanking him for his energy, drive, and sense of 
pride that he brought to the IID--a legacy to be honored for those who 
remain and those who will follow.
