  Mr. ROUDA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Henry Barbosa and 
his lifelong service to the people of Southern California.
  Mr. Barbosa has dedicated his life to serving the public as a City 
Attorney for several southern California cities, Deputy District 
Attorney for Los Angeles County, and special counsel to other public 
agencies. His clients included the City of Oakland, City of Los 
Angeles, County of Los Angles, the Metropolitan Transit Authority, and 
the Los Angeles Unified School District.
  Mr. Barbosa served as the President and Director of the Three Valley 
Municipal Water District and went on to serve six years as a member of 
the Board for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California 
from 1997 to 2002.
  Due to his proven record as a public servant, Mr. Barbosa was 
designated as a member of the Log Angeles Board of Police Commission's 
Blue-Ribbon Panel to analyze the causes of, and response to, the 
Rampart area police corruption scandal.
  Mr. Barbosa currently sits on the Board of the Orange County 
Conservation Corps, Board of Advisors to the UCLA Chicano Studies 
Research Center, and the Board of Visitors to the University of La 
Verne School of Law.
  Mr. Barbosa has demonstrated exemplary commitment to his community 
and has had an extraordinary career punctuated with selfless public 
service. Today I ask that all Members join me in recognizing the 
amazing life and works of Henry Barbosa.
