            TRIBUTE TO NEW LOS ANGELES MARKETING PARTNERSHIP

                                 ______


                         HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 7, 1995
  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to my good 
friend Larry Fisher and others for launching the New Los Angeles 
Marketing Partnership, a much-needed effort to counter the negative 
image of Los Angeles in the media. With a riot, an earthquake, fires 
and a sensational murder trial having dominated the news from Los 
Angeles in the past 3 years, the New Los Angeles Marketing Partnership 
could not be arriving at a better time. I wish them all the luck in the 
world.
  Seeing the outline of the program, which will officially kick off on 
June 7, I am confident it will achieve its goals. The participants 
truly love Los Angeles, and have a keen sense of what it is that makes 
this a great city, including climate, extraordinary ethnic diversity 
and a thriving entertainment industry. The chosen theme, Together we're 
the best, Los Angeles conveys the spirit of optimism guiding this 
project.
  For the first 5 years, New Los Angeles Marketing Partnership will be 
reminding the people of Los Angeles County about the exciting place in 
which they live. This effort will be specifically targeted at all 88 
cities in Los Angeles County.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting Larry Fisher 
and the other members of the New Los Angeles Marketing Partnership, 
whose faith in the city of Los Angeles and dedication to improving its 
image is an inspiration to all of us who live and work there.
