                       Thursday, October 1, 1998

  Mr. GALLEGLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor a native son of my 
district, a man who kept true to his roots and served his country and 
community with distinction.
  Stanley J. Daily will step down soon from the Camarillo City Council, 
a post he has held

[[Page E1860]]

since the city's founding in 1964. He holds the record as the longest-
serving member of the City Council. He served six years as mayor and 
eight years as vice mayor during his distinguished tenure. As 
impressive as this is, it is only a small part of the unselfish service 
that the son of Frank and Frances Daily and the grandson of Ventura 
County pioneer W.P. Daily has shown to his community.
  Mr. Daily has served as a commissioner of the Local Agency Formation 
Commission and as a director of the Ventura Regional Sanitation 
District. He was an elected commissioner for 18 years of the Port 
Hueneme, Oxnard Harbor District. He also served as president of the 
international body, the Pacific Coast Association of Port Authorities, 
which is composed of all the west coast ports of Canada and the United 
States, including Hawaii and Guam. He also served as a member of the 
executive committee on the Ventura County Association of Governments 
and has been a member and chair of the Camarillo Sanitary District.
  In addition, Mr. Daily is a founding member and past chairman of the 
Ventura County Council of Governments, chaired the Cities Select 
Committee and served on the Regional Council of Southern California 
Association of Governments.
  And, that's not all. In his spare time, Mr. Daily is an active member 
of the Pleasant Valley Lions Club and the Noontime Optimist Club of 
Camarillo, both of which are active in assisting our youth. He served 
as a board member on the Ventura County Council of the Navy League of 
the United States and is a charter member and parliamentarian of the 
Pleasant Valley Historical Society and Museum. He was also a longtime 
board member of the Port Hueneme Boys & Girls Club.
  The former U.S. Army officer graduated cum laude from the University 
of California, Santa Barbara, where he also earned his General 
Secondary Credential for graduate work in history. In 1960, he became a 
teacher in the Oxnard Union High School District, where he served as 
department chairman of the Social Science Department and Director of 
Activities for about 35 years.
  Mr. Daily also found time to be a family man. He and Liz have been 
married for more than four decades and has raised four sons, all of 
whom are now married as well. Stan and Liz are blessed as well with 
seven grandchildren.
  As one might expect, Mr. Daily has won numerous local and statewide 
awards and recognitions for his service to his community and his 
profession. I add my voice to those who have praised Mr. Daily over the 
years, thank him for his enormous service, and wish him godspeed in 
this retirement years.
