                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. TORRES. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize Chief Camerino 
Sanchez, Jr., who is a 1994 Hall of Fame Award recipient from the El 
Rancho Unified School District.
  Chief Sanchez was born in El Paso, TX and moved to Pico Rivera when 
he was 2 years old. He grew up in Pico Rivera and graduated from El 
Rancho High School in 1971. After graduation he received his A.S. 
degree from Rio Hondo Community College and his bachelor of arts degree 
from the University of Redlands.
  Throughout his law enforcement career Chief Sanchez has diligently 
pursued avenues for improving the lives of the youth in the communities 
which he has served. In Holister, CA, Chief Sanchez is developing a 
broad palette of new programs for the city's youth. As part of his 
commitment to a policy of strong community involvement, the police 
department has begun an Adopt-a-Cop program, Explorers program, and a 
Jeopardy/Homework program with the local schools.
  Chief Sanchez, certainly is an exemplary role model for the students 
of El Rancho High School. He personifies for students that the pursuit 
of goals and dedication to one's dreams can lead to their fulfillment. 
I commend Chief Sanchez on his many accomplishments and I know he will 
continue his commitment to our community for years to come.
