           COMMEMORATING THE LIFE OF RICHARD ROY KELLEY, M.D.

  (Mr. CASE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CASE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commemorate the life of Richard Roy 
Kelley, M.D., a true ``keiki o ka aina,'' ``a child of the land,'' son 
of Hawaii, just lost to us at age 88.
  Doc Kelly was born to Hawaii's original hoteliers, Roy and Estelle 
Kelley, founders of Outrigger Hotels and Resorts. He grew up in their 
Waikiki hotels, graduated from Stanford and Harvard, and practiced in 
Honolulu before helming Outrigger through its second generation.
  On Doc's watch, Outrigger expanded throughout Hawaii and the Pacific 
into a world-famous iconic beach resort brand; success for any life.
  But Doc Kelley did far more. He pioneered true cultural tourism in 
``Ke Ano Wa'a,'' or ``the Outrigger Way,'' through which the entire 
lifeblood of each property embraces and embodies its special values and 
place. He led the World Travel and Tourism Council and advised our own 
Travel and Tourism Council. And he endlessly loved Hawaii and his `` 
'ohana,'' ``family,'' and never stopped giving back.
  Richard ``Doc'' Kelley, an amazing and unforgettable life. From all 
of us to you and yours, mahalo, and aloha.
