                   HONORING THE CHP 11-99 FOUNDATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 31, 2001

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the CHP 11-99 
Foundation for their continuous support of their fellow officers. The 
CHP 11-99 Foundation provides assistance, benefits, and scholarships 
for the families of California Highway Patrolmen who need the help.
  The CHP 11-99 Foundation was founded in 1981 by businessman Bob 
Weinberg. He started the Foundation when he discovered that there was 
no organized community support for California Highway Patrol families 
in times of crisis. Today, more than 3,000 special individuals from all 
walks of life are providing financial assistance as members of the CHP 
11-99 Foundation.
  The CHP 11-99 Foundation has awarded nearly $1 million in 
scholarships for educational opportunities to the children and spouses 
of CHP employees. The Foundation hopes to raise sufficient funds to 
assure a quality education for all CHP children and spouses who wish to 
continue their schooling. When tragedy befalls a California Highway 
Patrolman, CHP 11-99 Foundation can deliver funds to the family within 
hours.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the CHP 11-99 Foundation and its 
Board of Directors for their dedication to providing support to the 
family members of California Highway Patrolmen during their time of 
need. I urge my colleagues to join me in wishing the CHP 11-99 
Foundation many more years of continued success.
