                              HON. JAY KIM

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, February 2, 1995
  Mr. KIM. Mr. Speaker, I rise to salute the 50th anniversary of Cable 
Airport in Upland CA, located in the heart of the 41st Congressional 
District. This outstanding facility is the world's largest, privately 
owned airport used by the public. I would also like to take this 
opportunity to honor the Cable family for their many contributions and 
years of service.
  Since 1945, three generations of the Cable family have committed 
hardwork and dedication to the building and preservation of this 
airport. At a time when most publicly used airports are owned by 
government or quasi-governmental agencies, founders Dewey and Maude 
Cable have demonstrated the successful spirit of entreprenurialism and 
have bolstered private participation in aviation.
  Smaller airports like Cable play an important role in the economic 
development of the surrounding region. Our communities have grown to 
rely on the benefits aviation facilities like this have to offer. 
Today, Cable Airport continues to faithfully serve the transportation 
needs of San Bernardino County and the State of California.
  I congratulate Cable Airport and the Cable family on this memorable 
occasion and wish them continued success for years to come.
