  Mr. ROYCE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the passing of 
community activist and civic and religious leader, Atty. Linda Sarno, 
who passed away on February 1, 2016. Atty. Sarno was a beloved 
community organizer and leader who supported the development and 
professionalism of Filipino American businesses and raised awareness 
and appreciation for Filipino culture and cuisine in Southern 
California. She started initiatives in the community to promote the 
advantages of green technology, health, and conservation both in 
business and everyday life. She was co-founder and director emeritus of 
the Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Orange County where she 
encouraged young entrepreneurship, and was also actively involved in 
the Asian Business Association of Orange County. Atty. Sarno will be 
deeply missed by her family, friends, and our community.
