  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Doug Harrison for 
his 30 years of outstanding community service with the Fresno 
Metropolitan Flood Control District and Fresno County.
  Mr. Harrison is the General Manager-Secretary of the Fresno 
Metropolitan Flood Control District, having served in that capacity 
since 1972. The American Waterworks Association recognized his work in 
urban run-off quality research as the best water resources research of 
1988. Also, Mr. Harrison was acknowledged by the State Water Resource 
Control Board in 1993 for federal Clean Water Act program assistance. 
Subsequently, he was named by the American Public Works Association as 
one of the Top Ten Public Works Leaders in the nation in 1993; and, 
Manager of the Year, 1999, by the California Special Districts 
Association.
  Mr. Harrison has spoken nationally on urban storm water and flood 
control issues, including frequent testimony before the Congress of the 
United States and the California State Legislature. He has also 
published numerous articles and was a contributing author for a 
national water resources policy white paper developed by the National 
Water alliance for the Bush Administration.
  He also serves as a Board Member of the San Joaquin River 
Conservancy. He is currently serving as a member of the Board of 
Directors of the Association of California Water Agencies, and is also 
the past President and a current Board Member of the National 
Association of Flood and Storm Water Management Agencies.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to honor Doug Harrison for his 30 
years of service with the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District 
and Fresno County. I urge my colleagues to join me in wishing Mr. 
Harrison many more years of continued success.
