  Mr. CALVERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to 
an individual whose dedication and contributions to the community of 
Norco, California, are exceptional. Norco has been fortunate to have 
dynamic and dedicated community leaders who willingly and unselfishly 
give their time and talent and make their communities a better place to 
live and work. Harvey Sullivan is one of these individuals. On December 
4, 2007, Harvey will be honored at a dinner in honor of his retirement 
from the Norco City Council.
  Harvey has served on the Norco City Council for 8 years and has lived 
in Norco for 15 years. This year he served as mayor. Prior to being a 
councilmember, Harvey was an electrician. Mayor Sullivan has served on 
the Norco Schools Committee, Riverside County Library Taskforce, 
Chamber of Commerce Education Committee, CDA board member, Water 
Taskforce Committee, United Norconians for Life Over Alcohol and Drugs, 
UNLOAD Committee, Fee Study Committee for area fees, Alternate Trail 
Materials Committee, Beautification Committee, Riverside County 
Transportation Commission, Riverside Transit Agency, and the Western 
Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority.
  Mr. Sullivan has been a tireless advocate in promoting Norco as 
``Horsetown USA,'' was instrumental in bringing the Extreme Mustang 
Makeover competition to Norco in 2009, has worked with Desert Power to 
bring solar energy to all of Norco's major city facilities, and

has used Norco's unique lifestyle as an economic driver to promote 
economic development in the community. In his spare time, Harvey enjoys 
horseback riding, camping, fishing, and skiing.
  Harvey's tireless passion for community service has contributed 
immensely to the betterment of the community of Norco, California. Herb 
has been the heart and soul of many community organizations and events 
and I am proud to call him a fellow community member, American, and 
friend. I know that many community members are grateful for his service 
and salute him as he retires. I wish him and his lovely wife Mynon all 
the best.
