  Mr. STARK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Amit Zutshi, 
whose untimely death at age 30 on March 19, 2008 saddened the entire 
community.
  Amit was a resident of Fremont, California and shall be remembered 
fondly for the difference he made in the lives of others. Amit comes 
from an active family committed to community service. He followed his 
family's dedication to activism and the promotion of unity.
  Amit was born at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles and graduated 
from Mission San Jose High School in 1995. He attended graduate school 
and was working toward an MBA from University of Phoenix after 
receiving degrees in information technology and business. He was 
employed by Microsoft and also worked for an eCommerce company in Santa 
Clara, California.
  On May 30, 2008, Amit's younger brother Rahul will introduce the Amit 
Zutshi Foundation. The Foundation's focus will be on children in need 
of social and community based services to help them thrive. May 30 also 
marks the 7th annual meeting of the Indo American Community Federation, 
a group Amit's father Jeevan founded to celebrate diversity.
  It is fitting that Amit's memory be honored by the formation of the 
Amit Zutshi Foundation. Amit leaves a legacy of hard work and caring 
for others. The Foundation will honor his legacy.
