                     IN MEMORY OF RALPH J. CICERONE

  (Mrs. MIMI WALTERS of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. MIMI WALTERS of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory 
of Ralph Cicerone, who passed away on November 5, at the age of 73.
  Ralph served as the University of California-Irvine's chancellor from 
1998 to 2005. During that time, UCI experienced tremendous success 
under his leadership, including raising the school's national rankings 
and breaking ground on its teaching hospital.
  Beyond his contributions to the Irvine community, Ralph was world-
renowned for his innovative, scientific

research that has helped shape environmental policy.
  Our thoughts are with Ralph's wife, Carol, his daughter, Sarah, and 
his two grandchildren. He will be truly missed but will be long 
remembered for his contributions to the Orange County UCI and science 
communities.
