                           HON. DUNCAN HUNTER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 20, 2000

  Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and thank one of my 
constituents, Mr. Lynn McDougal, for his many year of dedicated service 
to the people of San Diego East County. Lynn will shortly be retiring 
after 32 years as the City Attorney of the City of El Cajon. He has 
also represented many other government agencies including the cities of 
Carlsbad, Coronado, Del Mar, El Centro, Imperial Beach, Poway, Alpine 
Union School District, San Marcos Unified School District and the El 
Cajon Redevelopment Agency.
  Lynn McDougal came from modest beginnings in Atwood, Kansas. His 
father was a bowling alley owner and his mother a teacher. After 
attending the University of Kansas on a Naval Scholarship, McDougal 
spent three years of active duty, followed by 14 years in the Naval 
Reserve, attaining the rank of Lt. Commander. At his father's 
suggestion, he enrolled in law school at the University of Colorado, 
graduating in 1959. A few years later, he moved west and settled in El 
Cajon.
  Lynn is a member of the State Bar of California, the Colorado Bar 
Association and the San Diego County Bar Association. He is admitted to 
practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. He is the Founder and Past 
President of the San Diego and Imperial County City Attorney's 
Association. He has served as Second Vice President, First Vice 
President and the President of the City Attorney's Department of the 
League of California Cities. He is Past President and a member of the 
Foothills Bar Association.
  Lynn has had a distinguished career in the area of law, but perhaps 
more importantly, he has dedicated his life in service to others in 
various other ways as well. This was recognized when he received the El 
Cajon Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year Award in 1974. Lynn has 
been a member of the Board of Directors of the Boys and Girls Club of 
El Cajon and served as a member of the Board of the Boys and Girls Club 
Foundation. He exemplified the Rotary motto of ``Service Above Self,'' 
as the President of the Rotary Club of El Cajon and being a charter 
member of both the El Cajon Historical Society and the El Cajon Sister 
City Association. The latter organization works to improve relations 
between the people and City of El Cajon and several foreign cities.
  Through his endeavors, Lynn has had the support of his lovely wife 
Anne. He has a son, Tim, and a daughter, Kyle, and has five wonderful 
grandchildren.
  It is people like Lynn McDougal, with his commitment to his nation, 
his family and his community, that makes the United States the great 
country that it is. I congratulate him and honor him on his retirement 
as the City Attorney of El Cajon.
