                       Tuesday, February 14, 1995
  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute Rich Hughes, an 
outstanding citizen who has provided invaluable professional service to 
hundreds of cities, counties and municipalities and who was recently 
elected by his community to serve on the Sea Ranch Board of Directors.
  Rich Hughes is a founding partner of Hughes, Perry and Associates, a 
consulting firm which has to date served over 750 city, county and 
special district agencies. His great skill and professional expertise 
have made him a respected consultant to local community leaders on a 
host of difficult management, planning and fiscal issues. He is 
regarded by his clients and his colleagues as the best in this field.
  Rich Hughes is also an outstanding leader in the Sea Ranch community. 
Sea Ranch lies on 10 miles of pristine Sonoma Coastline 110 miles north 
of San Francisco. The community was founded in 1965 and has received 
numerous planning, environmental and architectural awards. It has an 
international reputation and has been studied by architects and 
planners throughout the world. Rich Hughes now serves on the Sea Ranch 
Board of Directors and formerly served as Chairperson of the Long Range 
Planning and Security Committees. His leadership and consensus-building 
skills were instrumental in the effort he spearheaded to design and 
construct a new community center which was approved by his colleagues 
on the Board.
  Mr. Speaker, Rich Hughes is an extraordinary leader and devoted 
community servant. I'm proud of his professionalism and commitment to 
making a community work well and privileged to call him my friend. I 
ask my colleagues to join me in saluting him on the recent occasion of 
his being elected to the Sea Ranch Board and for all the good he has 
chosen to do with his life.
