  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to George 
King for being the U.S. Tennis Association national champion and for 
his support of California's children. Dr. King exemplifies a champion 
athletically, socially and professionally.
  George King has participated in U.S. Tennis Association events since 
1985. Currently, King is a competitor in the 30 and over division and 
held their the No. 1 ranking in 1992 and 1993. It was during these 
years that King won his back to back national championships.
  Dr. King's accomplishments are not limited to the court. He is 
committed to his family and to the children of California. 
Specifically, Dr. King competes annually in the Northern California Pro 
Am, of which the proceeds benefit junior tennis programs. He also 
assists with the instruction and teaching of juniors at the Fig Garden 
Swim and Racquet Club, his home court. Finally, Dr. King is a member of 
Rotary International and supports their college scholarship and youth 
exchange programs. Professionally, Dr. King maintains two dentistry 
practices that serve the communities of Fresno and Livingston. These 
two offices offer a full range of dental services.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I pay tribute to Dr. George 
King for his tennis accomplishments and his support of California's 
children. I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing Dr. King many more 
years of success.
