  Ms. HARMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate El Camino 
Community College on the event of its golden anniversary. For 50 years 
El Camino College has served the communities of El Segundo, Hawthorne, 
Hermosa Beach, Inglewood, Lawndale, Lennox, Manhattan Beach, Redondo 
Beach and Torrance.
  Fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, 
El Camino offers a high quality of education in many diverse subjects, 
with an outstanding faculty of more than 800 full-time and part-time 
instructors. Currently 2,500 different classes are offered in 850 
different programs to an enrollment of 23,000 students. Approximately 
1.5 million students have been served since 1946.
  El Camino College is one of the educational and cultural centers of 
the South Bay. The great facilities of the campus draw thousands of 
visitors every year.
  I offer my congratulations to the college board of trustees, college 
President Thomas Fallo, and to the more than 1 million students who 
have attended El Camino during the last 50 years. And I know El Camino 
College will continue for the next 50 years to be an important 
educational institution in the South Bay.
