                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DARRELL E. ISSA

                        Thursday, March 13, 2003

  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, today the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce will 
proudly host the official grand opening of their new offices. There 
will be a ribbon cutting and reception to commence this special 
occasion. I want to ask special recognition for the efforts of Mr. 
David Nydegger the Chief Executive Officer of the chamber for his hard 
work in making the new offices a reality.
  The Oceanside Chamber Mission Statement reads ``To promote a strong 
business climate throughout the City of Oceanside, serve as leader and 
advocate for the business community, enhance the economic stability of 
the city and act as a collective voice for business concerns.''
  I believe that the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce has been successful 
in achieving the goals stated in its mission statement. Since its doors 
opened in 1896, the chamber has effectively promoted local business and 
been a valuable resource to the Oceanside business community.
  Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of the chamber's grand opening, I would 
like to personally recognize the work of the Oceanside Chamber of 
Commerce on behalf of the businesses and citizens of Oceanside.

                          ____________________
