                        Wednesday, July 27, 1994

  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring your 
attention to the fine work and outstanding community service of Charles 
V. Cummins of Upland, CA. Charlie, who is a long time friend, will be 
awarded the prestigious Dr. William H. Craig Visionary Award in 
appreciation of his dedication to San Antonio Community Hospital and 
his community at a gala dinner-dance held in his honor on October 21, 
1994.
  Charlie has been a long time supporter of San Antonio Community 
Hospital. His involvement began as a building fund and capital campaign 
donor. From April 1978 to December 1986, Charlie served as a member of 
the hospital's board of trustees. During this time he was active on 
various committees, and he held the office of treasurer in 1986. In 
March 1986, he was elected to the board of San Antonio Health Services, 
Inc., and he is currently serving as treasurer of the corporation.
  Over the years, Charlie has been a founding member and president of 
numerous civic and community-based organizations including the Downtown 
Business Professional Association, the Ontario Motor Speedway, the 
Greater Ontario Visitors and Convention Bureau, and the Ontario Rotary 
Club. In addition, he is serving as president and chairman of the board 
of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce.
  Under President Reagan, Charlie was one of the first appointees and 
later president of the State board of pharmacy. He has been active 
politically serving as a delegate to the Republican National 
Convention, and currently serves on the State Republican Central 
Committee.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me, our colleagues, Charlie's 
family, and his community in honoring this unique individual for his 
continual service to his community. Throughout the years he has shown a 
commitment to San Antonio Community Hospital as well as the people 
within his community and it is only fitting that the House recognize 
him today.
