                          TRIBUTE TO DORI PYE

                                 ______


                         HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dori Pye, who 
has been an articulate and enthusiastic spokesperson on behalf of 
businesses in Los Angeles. At a time when the economy of the region is 
going through profound change, Dori has worked tirelessly to help 
entrepreneurs throughout southern California keep pace. As president of 
the Los Angeles business council for the past 25 years, Dori has been a 
tremendous advocate for the diverse businesses that make up the 
southern California economy.
  But Dori's involvement with her community is not limited to the 
business sector. For example, since 1986 she has been the host of 
``Inside LA,'' a syndicated television show that featured discussions 
with political leaders and people active in the arts. She has also 
served on a number of boards, including Jimmy Carter's Habitat for 
Humanity, the Jewish Immunology Center; and the University Religious 
Conference. It's hardly an exaggeration to say that somehow Dori finds 
time for everybody.
  Dori has also made a tremendous impact with the leadership Los 
Angeles program, a 9-month series of intensive seminars on community 
issues that helps prepare businesspersons to assume leadership roles. I 
have spoken to members of this group several times, and am always 
impressed with their level of knowledge and the strength of their 
commitment.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Dori Pye, a great friend 
of business and a true leader. Southern California is lucky to have 
her.
