                    in the house of representatives

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, throughout towns and cities across our 
nation there are individuals who are willing to step forward to 
dedicate their talents and energies to making life better for their 
friends and neighbors. The citizens of California are fortunate to have 
such an individual in Jerry A. King.
  Jerry King's involvement with the California Regional Water Quality 
Control Board, Santa Ana Region, and community, began in 1983 when he 
was first appointed by Governor George Deukmejian. As a Regional Board 
member Jerry represented the community's concerns, set priorities for 
projects and plans of action, allocated funds, and made decisions 
essential to the future of water quality in southern California. His 
endless energy is displayed by his long list of business and community 
involvements including: President and owner of J.A. King & Associates, 
Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee for the Orange County 
Transportation Authority, board member of the Industrial League of 
Orange County, President of the Newport Beach Conference and Visitors 
Bureau and countless other local charitable and civic associations and 
organizations.
  Jerry King has made, and continues to make, a lasting and positive 
impact in the southern California community. His involvement and 
leadership have established a path for those individuals following in 
his footsteps. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jerry for 
his dedication, influence and involvement in our community. He has 
served as an outstanding representative of community leadership. It is 
a great pleasure for me to congratulate Jerry King for the outstanding 
job he has done as a member of the California Regional Water Quality 
Control Board.
