                           HON. STEPHEN HORN

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 20, 1995
  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commend the California Paralyzed 
Veterans for their commitment to providing comfortable housing for 
disabled veterans in the 38th Congressional District. Their hard work 
and dedication has resulted in the construction in Long Beach, CA, of 
Casa Corazon--a model of housing for persons with disabilities.
  Casa Corazon is also an outstanding example of what can happen when 
Government agencies in Washington and at the local level join together 
for the betterment of a community. To make the dream of Casa Corazon a 
reality, the California Paralyzed Veterans reached out to include the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD], the Long Beach 
Housing Authority and the city of Long Beach. Their cooperation 
contributed heavily to the successful completion of Casa Corazon.

  The members of the California Paralyzed Veterans are role models of 
ongoing service to others. They began with their personal service and 
sacrifice for our Nation during times of war. Their service has 
continued into peace time with the creation of Casa Corazon. I commend 
the California Paralyzed Veterans for all that they have given our 
Nation and for all that they are doing to ensure a better quality of 
life for all members of our community. Their efforts and Casa Corazon 
serve as a reminder of another job well done.
