                         IN HONOR OF LARRY DICK

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. GARY A. CONDIT

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 3, 1998

  Mr. CONDIT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Larry Dick and to 
offer my congratulations on the opening of the Veteran's Affairs 
Modesto Outreach Clinic in California's great Central Valley.
  The Modesto Outreach Clinic has been a tremendous success. Much of 
this success is directly because of Larry's efforts. Not only has he 
been working with the VA Screening Program for 11 years--which 
translates to 379 Fridays--during which time he has screened more than 
8,500 veterans, Larry has tirelessly ``beat the bushes'' for veterans.
  He and the American Legion Post have served as sponsor, 
administrative coordinator, publicist and very strong advocate for the 
VA Modesto Outreach Clinic.
  A past Commander for American Legion Post No. 74, last year Larry was 
named ``Man of the Year For Community Services'' in Stanislaus County, 
California.
  Mr. Speaker, it is indeed a privilege to honor Larry and commend him 
for his efforts on behalf of veterans. His willingness to be such an 
exemplary model of volunteerism reflects great credit on himself. He is 
truly an example of one man standing up to make a difference in the 
lives of those around him.
  I ask that my colleagues in the House of Representatives rise and 
join me in honoring Larry Dick.
