                  HONORING THE AMERICAN HERITAGE CLUB

                                 ______


                       HON. ESTEBAN EDWARD TORRES

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 21, 1995
  Mr. TORRES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the American 
Heritage Club and the club's faculty sponsor, Mr. Larry Wong, and 
school superintendent Ginger Shattuck.
  Under Larry Wong's leadership, the American Heritage Club has 
provided hundreds of scholarships to students in the Norwalk/La Mirada 
Unified School District. Over the past 16 years, Larry has organized 
and participated in numerous academic field trips to Washington, DC. 
For over 30 years, Larry has taught our students how to be leaders in 
their community and the value of participating in our democratic 
society. An energetic supporter and backbone of the American Heritage 
Club has been superintendent Ginger Shattuck. On March 18, the American 
Heritage Club dedicated its 1995 luau to Ginger for her tireless 
efforts and commitment to the club. Our community is stronger and 
richer because of the American Heritage Club's spirit of cultural and 
intellectual enrichment.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with pride that I rise to recognize the American 
Heritage Club for encouraging so many young people to become leaders 
and I ask my colleagues to join this salute.
