  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Gene Wisner, who will be retiring from the Yorba Linda City Council in 
California. Mr. Wisner served on the City Council from January 3, 1983 
to November 1992 and was elected again in November of 1994. He has 
twice served his community honorably as Mayor, as well as represented 
his city: as Vice Chairman and Chairman of the Eastern/Foothill 
Transportation Corridor Agency; a member of the Budget & Finance 
Committee on the Transportation Corridor Agency; a members of the City 
Audit Committee; the League of California Cities; National League of 
Cities; Orange County Fire Authority; and the Orange County Sanitation 
District. He also served as city representative to the Yorba Linda 
Water District and the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce.
  While serving as a member of the City Council, Gene Wisner worked 
toward many beneficial projects for Yorba Linda including the 
development of the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace, an expansive 
city park system, city recreational facilities, the Community Center/
Senior Citizen Facility, and the Casa Loma Field House. Mr. Wisner is 
to be congratulated for his service to the community, not only as a 
Council Member, but as an active supporter of community groups such as 
the Boy Scouts of America, the Y.M.C.A. and local youth sports 
programs.
  It is with extreme pleasure that I wish the best for Mr. Wisner in 
his retirement from the Yorba Linda City Council.
