         RECOGNIZING THE LIFE AND SERVICE OF ALFRED HOFFMEISTER

  (Mr. DeSAULNIER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and 
service of Alfred ``Al'' Hoffmeister.
  Throughout his life, Al had shown incredible dedication to his 
community and his country. He was a World War II veteran, serving in 
the U.S. Army Air Corps, and later in life when he returned home to 
California, he worked as a metal trading manager at Kaiser Aluminum of 
Oakland, California.
  Al worked for Kaiser for 25 years, retiring in 1989. In his 
retirement, he was a strong advocate for our community's youth, serving 
as a leader with the YMCA and the Concord American Little League board. 
He also worked with the Boy and Girl Scouts of America.
  Al was dedicated to his faith and was an original member of the St. 
Bonaventure Catholic Church in Concord where he served as an usher for 
many years.
  Sadly, Al passed away recently, but he will be remembered for his 
humility, hardworking nature, and devotion to his family, his 
community, and this country.
  Please join me in honoring Alfred Hoffmeister for his many 
contributions to our country.
