                      RECOGNITION OF DR. GREG ROTH

                                 ______


                        HON. CARLOS J. MOORHEAD

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 28, 1995
  Mr. MOORHEAD. Mr. Speaker, selflessness is a cherished commodity in 
the era in which we live.
  I rise today to recognize Dr. Greg Roth, executive pastor of my home 
church, Glendale (CA) Presbyterian. Dr. Roth is an individual who 
exemplifies this selflessness through his love and concern for others. 
We honor a man who through years of dedicated service to his church and 
his community, has earned a reputation for leadership, compassion, and 
generosity.
  He, like others, envisions things which are for the betterment of our 
society. Yet, what

sets him apart is his willingness to sacrifice time to lead in the 
establishment of programs such as the Glendale Coalition to Coordinate 
Emergency Food and Shelter, The Lords Kitchen, a feeding program for 
the homeless, Glendale Cold Weather Shelter, and a host of others. 
Because of his compassion, Dr. Roth has conducted numerous funerals for 
the homeless men and women. He is also highly respected member of 
several different boards, such as the Glendale Homeless Coalition and 
Positive Directions, a county funded Mental Health Drop-in Center.
  Unfortunately, for those of us in the community we will miss Dr. 
Roth. As he departs for the Centerville Presbyterian Church in Fremont, 
CA, I would like to wish him, Marsha, and Amanda all the best as they 
move on. I am sure that they will have a strong and positive impact in 
Fremont as they have had here in Glendale.
