                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MARK TAKANO

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dan Bernstein, a 
columnist for The Press-Enterprise in the Inland Empire who recently 
retired.
  Dan began his career thirty-eight years ago in 1976, and has covered 
business, government, and politics for our community. His column has 
informed, enlightened, and entertained his readers for decades.
  His wife, who he calls his ``unofficial editor-in-chief,'' pushed him 
to write a column in his voice, with his point of view. This 
established a connection and a bond with his readers that lasted for 
years, and I'm sure many in Riverside County would agree with me that 
his retirement from The Press-Enterprise creates a void--as his voice 
informatively and candidly filled the homes of the Inland Empire.
  We will surely miss Mr. Bernstein and I congratulate his long-
standing career.
  I wish him the best of luck in retirement.
