  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to 
honor the service of David Ream, city manager for the great city of 
Santa Ana and wish him the best in his upcoming retirement.
  Having a tenure of 32 years with the city of Santa Ana, Dave has 
served as city manager for the past twelve years and has held several 
executive positions in departments including the redevelopment agency 
and community development.
  Dave's leadership has been instrumental in the economic growth of 
Santa Ana and completion of several big projects including the Ronald 
Reagan Federal Court Building; the Discovery Science Center; a new 
police headquarters and City Hall expansion; and the redevelopment 
partnership with the Santa Ana Unified School District leading to the 
construction of 15 new schools in 15 years.
  Dave has been a forward thinker, helping lead Santa Ana through 
prosperous and challenging times.
  I sincerely thank Dave Ream for his 32 years of service and 
dedication to the city of Santa Ana and its residents. I hope you enjoy 
your retirement years to the fullest.
  Best wishes!

                          ____________________
