                      REMEMBERING CAL WORTHINGTON

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, I rise in memory of a great Californian, a 
man who was known all up and down the State as ``Go See Cal''--Cal 
Worthington. If you're a Californian, you have probably seen his ads 
starting back in the fifties of Cal and his dog Spot. He was also a 
great hero as a World War II airman and pilot.
  We know him in northern California for his ranch he has in the Orland 
area, the ``Big W Ranch.'' In most recent years--he never quit giving--
he helped out at the Glen Medical Center with an annual event we called 
``Splendor in the Valley'' that he hosted at his ranch, which was a 
huge success for the hospital and just goes to show Cal's big heart.
  We miss him already in northern California, as does all the State, 
because he's just a one-of-a-kind man that you will never replace his 
character, his humor, and what he does to keep giving to the community.
  We lost Cal the other day at the age of 92, and we will always 
remember him. And Splendor in the Valley will go on with its 10th 
anniversary this year in his honor.
  I ask this place to adjourn in his memory today.
