                          HON. ADAM B. SCHIFF

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 11, 2003

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Paul Goldenberg. Mr. 
Goldenberg has been a successful businessman in the Los Angeles area 
for two decades. He has also worked hard to fund and support medical 
centers and education programs, and has recently been honored with the 
2003 Jewish Home for the Aging Lifetime Achievement Award.
  Known as ``The King of Big Screen,'' Paul Goldenberg is a self-made 
businessman who started a TV repair business with $1000 he borrowed 
from two cousins. For the last 19 years, his La Habra store has sold 
more big-screen TVs than any other store in America.
  Mr. Goldenberg's success has led him to support many charitable 
causes. Paul's work with the Keeping the Promise Capital Campaign made 
the opening of the Paul Goldenberg-Daphna and Richard Ziman Special 
Care Center possible, and he is also a major contributor to the Jewish 
Home Residential Medical Center and the City of Hope. Mr. Goldenberg is 
also active in the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
  Along with his contributions of time and money to the medical 
community, Mr. Goldenberg is a dedicated supporter of education and 
after-school programs. Mr. Goldenberg has been the scholarship director 
of the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation, an organization 
devoted to awarding scholarships to children of Highway Patrol 
employees. This year Mr. Goldenberg and his committee raised over one 
million dollars to fund 712 scholarships. In June, Paul awarded 43 
personally funded scholarships to local high school students.
  For his work on behalf of the Los Angeles community, as well as his 
dedication to education, I am proud to ask all Members to join with me 
in commending Paul Goldenberg upon receiving the 2003 Jewish Home for 
the Aging Lifetime Achievement Award.
