                           HON. ANNA G. ESHOO

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 28, 1995
  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Chris K. 
Mouroufas, a proud Greek-American, a great civic leader, and an 
extraordinary friend who passed away this month.
  Mr. Mouroufas lived the American success story. Born in Messina, 
Greece, he emigrated to the United States, built a prosperous business, 
and became widely known in the Greek-American community for his 
willingness to help newcomers. He was a leader in the affairs of the 
city of San Francisco, having been appointed to the San Francisco 
Protocol Committee by mayors George Moscone, Dianne Feinstein, and Art 
Agnos. In addition, Mayor Agnos named Mr. Mouroufas to the San 
Francisco Film Commission, where he served as chairman.
  Mr. Speaker, Chris Mouroufas was a prominent member of the San 
Francisco Bay area who selflessly gave his time and talents to make our 
community a better place. What he cherished most was his family and his 
family of friends. He was a man of his word, a man of loyalty and a man 
of integrity. When Chris Mouroufas extended himself in friendship, it 
was a bond for life. I know, I was blessed to be his friend. I ask my 
colleagues to join me in honoring him and all he did as a noble citizen 
of a nation he embraced, served, and loved, and extend our deepest 
sympathies to his beloved wife, Tula, and godson, Christopher.
