                     HONORING THE LIFE OF DR. HONG

  (Mrs. KIM of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. KIM of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
of Dr. Mike Myungki Hong, a giant in the Korean-American community who 
exemplified the American Dream. He was a personal friend, a mentor, a 
visionary, and a very generous philanthropist who touched the lives of 
so many people.
  Despite his success as an engineer and founder of Dura Coat Products, 
he was a very humble man who loved his wife, Lorrie, and his children 
very, very dearly. He spent his life giving back to his community and 
supporting the next generation of young leaders.
  Dr. Hong dedicated his life to carrying on the legacy of Dosan Ahn 
Chang Ho, a leader of the Korean independence movement, with honesty, 
humility, integrity, and passion.
  The Korean-American community and I are indebted to Dr. Hong for his 
service and dedication. I pray that Dr. Hong's love of our country and 
community continues to live through us, and I pray for God's peace for 
his family.
