                       HONORING ROGER M. SCHRIMP

  (Mr. DENHAM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and honor the 
life of a very good and personal friend, Roger Schrimp, who died 
unexpectedly on Wednesday, February 10, 2016.
  Roger and his wife Delsie live in Oakdale, California, in my 
district. Roger has been a shareholder and a partner in the firm 
Damrell, Nelson, Schrimp, Pallios, Pacher, & Silva.
  Roger is most known for being very passionate, not only about his 
practice, but in addressing many different areas within our community. 
Within his practice, he addressed cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, 
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, U.S. District Court, and 
the U.S. Tax Court of Claims. In addition, he has gone before several 
State and local agencies.
  Roger was also an active leader in many different local, State, and 
national organizations. Since 1976, he was a member of the elite group 
out of Santa Barbara, California, the Rancheros Visitadores. He was 
appointed in 1996 by Governor Wilson. Roger served a 6-year term on the 
Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. He also served 
on the Executive Board of the California State Parks Foundation.
  Ever since joining the Boy Scouts of America in 1948, Roger has been 
dedicated to the organization throughout the years. The Eagle Scout has 
held a variety of voluntary positions within the group, including 
serving on the National Executive Board.
  From 2007 to 2015, Roger was named one of the top attorneys in 
Northern California by the Northern California Super Lawyers Magazine.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring and recognizing my good 
friend, Roger Schrimp, who will be missed by many. God bless him 
always.
