                       Friday, September 21, 2001

  Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute 
and honor the accomplishments of Marvin Westmore and the Westmore 
Academy of Cosmetic Arts.
  Marvin Westmore, founder of the Westmore Academy of Cosmetic Arts, is 
a long-time supporter of numerous community programs such as the Boy 
Scouts of America, Avon breast cancer research, Starlight Children's 
Foundation, Golden Acres Adult Day Health Center, Beautiful People 
Awards for the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, local community high 
school fund raising programs, Grossman Burn Center and many other 
worthy endeavors.
  Mr. Westmore, a pioneer in the field of medical cosmetics, has used 
his expertise to develop special make-up products and application 
techniques. He has trained thousands of students to help disfigured 
patients normalize their appearance and regain their self-confidence. 
Students in need of financial assistance are awarded full scholarships 
and given supplies at the finest make-up artists schools in the world, 
enabling them to realize their life-long dream of becoming professional 
make-up artists.
  I salute the outstanding efforts of Mr. Westmore and sincerely thank 
him for the vital and compassionate service which he has provided for 
those less fortunate in his community.
