                TRIBUTE TO ARTHUR ``ART'' HOLLINGSWORTH

                                 ______


                          HON. LYNN C. WOOLSEY

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 22, 1995
  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Arthur 
``Art'' Hollingsworth. Mr. Hollingsworth is retiring after more than 21 
years of public service in Rohnert Park, CA, which is located within 
the district I am privileged to represent. His dedication and 
commitment to improve the lives of the people of Rohnert Park is 
appreciated by those who have worked with him over the years, and by 
many who have benefited from his efforts.
  Art spent more than 13 years on the Rohnert Park City Council, 
including three terms as mayor. He was a member of the city's planning 
commission for 8 years, and served for 2 years as its chairman. Having 
served on a city council myself, I know that these years were filled 
with lots of hard work, countless meetings, and long work days.
  Despite this, however, Art's commitment to the community did not end 
with his official city duties. He also involved himself in a variety of 
local nonprofit activities and youth programs. Art was an advocate for 
our youth and worked to raise money for local high school athletic 
activities. In addition, he was a leader in many professional community 
groups, including the Rohnert Park Chamber of Commerce where he served 
as president for two terms.
  Mr. Speaker, Art Hollingsworth has made many contributions to his 
community through his hard work and dedication. I ask my colleagues to 
join me in saluting his efforts today, and in wishing him, and his 
family, all the best in the future.
