                       REMEMBERING BOB ROHDENBURG

  (Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
commemorate the life of Bob Rohdenburg who passed away on Saturday, 
March 6 of this year. Bob had been a dedicated pastor at the Garden 
Grove Unified Methodist Church and an Orange County Congregation 
Community Organization, or OCCCO, as we know it, board member for many 
years. He remained passionate about justice and the role of the church 
in public life until the very end. He was particularly passionate about 
the accessibility of health care for everyone, having witnessed the 
dysfunction of the health care system through his son's experience as a 
doctor and, of course, his own experience as a patient.
  He traveled to Washington, D.C., on more than one occasion to share 
his faith and his vision with our elected officials. Bob challenged 
OCCCO both with his vision and with the depth of his faith reflections.
  He had a profound role in shaping OCCCO, and he was a positive 
influence on the members of his church and beyond. He will be deeply 
missed. I send my deepest condolences to his wife Cynthia, his daughter 
Denise, his son Paul and his granddaughter.
