               GARY GALLUP RECEIVES GRAVER SERVICE AWARD

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LOIS CAPPS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 12, 2000

  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to report that my dear friend, 
Gary Gallup, a member of the class of 1961 at the University of 
California, Santa Barbara, was recently honored by the UCSB Alumni 
Association. He is the year 2000 recipient of the Chuck Graver Alumni 
Service Award for his steadfast commitment to his alma mater.
  Gary Gallup was a founder of the UCSB Alumni Association, and served 
on its Board of Directors in its early years. Gary has worked hard to 
improve the stature of the campus which now ranks among the top 
universities in the nation for research and academic quality. It is 
certainly one of the most beautiful campuses, if I may be permitted a 
hometown boast!
  Gary went on to join the UCSB Foundation over twenty years ago, and 
has since been involved in attracting private support that has been so 
important to the growth in size, quality, and stature of the 
university. Most recently, he served as chair of the Foundation, which 
expects to have a record setting year in fundraising.
  His voluntary contributions of time and energy often go unnoticed and 
unrecognized in our complicated world of busy lives. It is therefore 
quite fitting and proper, and I am pleased to join with the UCSB Alumni 
Association, to provide recognition to Gary Gallup for his forty years 
of service and the important contributions he has made to the UCSB 
campus and the community it serves.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in commending Mr. Gary Gallup on his 
receipt of the Chuck Graver Alumni Service Award and his pledge to 
upholding the vision of the University of California, Santa Barbara. 
The campus and surrounding area is most fortunate to have such an asset 
to call upon.
