  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. 
Timothy J. Farley upon the occasion of being recognized by the Council 
for Advancement and Support of Education with their annual leadership 
award.
  Mr. Farley was born on a military base in Europe and was raised in 
Martinez, California. He earned his associate's degree from Diablo 
Valley College and his bachelor's degree from the University of 
California, Davis. He was elected to the Martinez City Council in 1990 
and reelected in 1994. He is currently the Director of Community and 
Government Relations for Saint Mary's College in Moraga, California.
  The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) 
recognizes two individuals from across the country for their 
outstanding advocacy work on behalf of educational institutions. CASE 
is honoring Mr. Farley for his work and leadership in elevating the 
profile of Saint Mary's College among California legislators and staff. 
Mr. Farley's colleagues praise him for having excellent communication 
skills and for building first class partnerships and an effective 
community relations program.
  In addition, to his work at St. Mary's College, Mr. Farley is 
dedicated to community service. In 1978, the Martinez Chamber of 
Commerce honored Mr. Farley as Young Man of the Year for ``Outstanding 
Contribution to the Community.'' He was appointed to the United States 
Electoral College in 1996. He has written a public affairs column for 
the Martinez-Pleasant Hill Record. He is the founder of the Luncheon 
Society, a public affairs roundtable. Mr. Farley is a longtime advocate 
for veterans and nontraditional students.
  Mr. Speaker, Timothy J. Farley is very deserving of this recognition 
by virtue of his leadership, commitment, and passion for service. I am 
proud to have such a man working and living in our community, and I'm 
honored to call him my friend. It is therefore fitting and proper that 
we honor him here today.
