  Mr. FARR of California. Mr. Speaker, today I honor Mr. Howard J.

American National Red Cross and the Cincinnati Children's Hospital. On 
the Monterey Peninsula, Howard was a trustee of the Community Hospital 
of the Monterey Peninsula Foundation and the Monterey Institute of

remembered by dear family and friends. Howard is survived by his wife 
of 64 years, Anne; two sons, Edwin of South Norwalk, Conn., and James
