       TRIBUTE TO MR. ANDY M. CAMACHO AND DR. MARY LOUISE OZOHAN

                                 ______


                          HON. XAVIER BECERRA

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 20, 1996

  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, it is with much pleasure and pride that I 
rise today to recognize Mr. Andy M. Camacho and Dr. Mary Louise Ozohan 
for their personal and professional achievements. These exemplary 
individuals are not only an inspiration to their three children but to 
others as hard-working professionals, model citizens, and dedicated 
volunteers.
  Andy Camacho was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. He is a graduate 
of East Los Angeles College, obtained a bachelor of arts degree in 
political science from California State University at Los Angeles and 
holds a law degree from Southwestern University.
  He has held numerous positions including director of operations for 
the East Los Angeles Health System, Special Ambassador to South 
America, board member of the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors 
Bureau, and partner of the law office of Camacho & Kunkel. In addition 
to establishing his law firm, Mr. Camacho is the proprietor of four 
successful Mexican restaurants in the Los Angeles area. He is known to 
be very generous and offers his restaurants to community organizations 
and nonprofit agencies to hold their various functions.
  One would assume that someone like Andy would be too busy for 
community involvement; but quite the contrary, he is a board member of 
the Latino Museum of Art, History and Culture, an advisory board member 
for the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club, and an advisory board member for 
the East Los Angeles Chapter of Life Is Feeding Everyone [LIFE]. Time 
and time again he has demonstrated that whenever he is asked to serve, 
he serves.

  Dr. Mary Louise Ozohan is a successful and respected medical doctor 
specializing in radiation oncology. Born and raised in Canada, Dr. 
Ozohan attended the University of Manitoba, College of Medicine, and 
completed her residency at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. She 
currently practices radiation oncology at the Medical Center of Tarzana 
in the San Fernando Valley.
  Dr. Ozohan's contributions to the field of medicine are outstanding. 
The community is fortunate that she has utilized her talents to improve 
the lives of so many people. Her commitment to win the battle against 
cancer is commendable. She is especially dedicated to executing 
proactive community education and prevention measures to combat cancer.
  In addition to Mary Louise's role as wife, mother, and doctor, she 
should be commended for her voluntarism in such organizations as the 
University of Southern California

Auxiliary.
  Mr. Speaker, on March 20, 1996, colleagues and friends will gather at 
a special dinner to pay tribute to both Andy and Mary Louise for their 
contributions to the community. They will both receive the American 
Cancer Society's Hermanos en la Lucha Contra el Cancer League Life 
Achievement Award. It is with great pride that I ask my colleagues to 
join me in saluting Mr. Andy Camacho and Dr. Mary Louise Ozohan for 
their outstanding service to the Los Angeles community.
