                      Thursday, September 28, 2000

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure 
that I honor Grandmaster Dae Woong Chung, who has been teaching the 
traditions of Taekwondo to the citizens of Pomona and the surrounding 
area for over 35 years. Grandmaster Chung has a 9th degree black belt.
  Eighteen years ago, Grandmaster Chung started a program of teaching 
high school students at Pomona Unified School District at no cost to 
them. He also has instructors teaching at many local churches and 
service organizations, such as Boys' and Girls' Clubs and YMCA's.
  Grandmaster Chung is currently the Director of the Saehan Bank, which 
has four locations in the counties of Los Angeles and Orange. In fact, 
the newest location opens today, in the my district, in the city of 
Rowland Heights.
  Grandmaster Chung was the first Taekwondo master to teach Taekwondo 
in California, starting back in 1965, and has since dedicated his life 
to teaching the martial art of his mother country to the citizens in 
the Pomona Valley.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that this House please join me in recognizing, 
honoring and commending Grandmaster Chung for his 35 years of 
commitment and outstanding service to our community.

                          ____________________
