  Mr. FAZIO. Mr. Speaker, I rise on behalf of myself and my 
distinguished colleague, Mr. Herger, to recognize the lifetime 
achievement of Clair A. Hill.
  Mr. Hill has been an integral part of the management of California's 
water resources for over three decades, serving as vice-chair and as 
chairman of the California Water Commission.
  In addition to his strong leadership on the water commission, Mr. 
Hill served as director of the California Chamber of Commerce and was 
an active member of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
  Mr. Hill has exhibited unfailing dedication toward the development of 
responsible and effective management of California's water supply.
  His efforts in this regard prompted the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to 
honor him with its citizen award for his outstanding lifelong 
commitment to the wise use and development of California's water 
resources.
  On behalf of Mr. Herger and myself, I want to thank Mr. Hill for his 
extraordinary commitment and dedicated service to the people of the 
State of California.
