  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I honor an individual whose dedication to 
the community and the overall well-being of the 43rd Congressional 
District is notable. On April 1st, Mr. Richard Roth, will step down as 
the Chair of the Greater Riverside Chamber of Commerce--a day that also 
marks Chamber's 100 year anniversary of service to the community. My 
district has been fortunate to have dynamic and dedicated community 
leaders who willingly give their time and talents to promote the 
businesses, schools and community organizations. Mr. Roth has proved 
himself one of these individuals again and again.
  Richard Roth has a long and commendable history of serving Riverside 
County. Currently, he is a member of the Inland Empire Board of 
Directors for the Employer's Group, the civically minded Monday Morning 
Group and the Raincross Club. Additionally, in the past, he has 
selflessly served as Vice Chair of the Parkview Community Hospital 
Board, Vice Chair of the March Field Museum Foundation Board of 
Managers and member of the Board of Directors for the Volunteer Center 
of Riverside.
  Richard Roth is a Managing Partner of the Riverside County law firm 
of Reid & Hellyer. He is also involved in the community as an adjunct 
instructor in Labor and Employment Law at the University of California 
at Riverside, Graduate School of Management and in the University 
Extension Division.
  In addition to his private practice of law, Richard Roth is a 
Brigadier General in the United States Air Force Reserve. In this 
position, he presently serves as the Mobilization Assistant to the 
Staff Judge Advocate, Headquarters Air Mobility Command and Reserve 
Advisor to the Chief Counsel, United States Transportation Command. In 
1987, Richard Roth received the Reginald C. Harmon Trophy as the Air 
Force Outstanding Reserve Attorney and in 1992 he was named California 
Air Force Association Reserved Man of the Year.
  Richard's outstanding accomplishments make me proud to call him my 
friend, community member, and fellow American. I thank him for his 
contribution to the betterment of the community and I look forward to 
continuing to work with him for the good of Riverside County.
