                         HONORING JOHN CAMACHO

  (Mr. MOYLAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MOYLAN. Mr. Speaker, I take this time to recognize and honor the 
late, great John Camacho, also known as Chubado, who sadly left this 
world a few years ago. John left behind his lovely wife, Darleen, and 
children, Janice and Jeremy.
  A proud son of Guam, John received numerous accolades for academic 
excellence during his time at Fresno State University where he obtained 
a bachelor of science in civil engineering.
  In 1978, he and his friend Henry Simpson were the brain children of 
Smokin' Wheels, which consisted of off-road motorcycling, buggy, and 
truck endurance.
  In 1979, John participated in the Baja 1000, which remains one of the 
most prestigious off-road obstacles in the world.
  On behalf of the Nation and the island of Guam, and in these sacred 
Halls of democracy, I honor and recognize John Camacho as a founding 
father of motorsports on Guam and as a renaissance man for the sport in 
the region.
