                        Monday, January 31, 2000

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commend Mr. Mel 
Woods for his work to improve mental health services for Californians.
  Mr. Woods worked tirelessly to promote legislation to improve access 
to medication that treats schizophrenia. As a result of his work, 
Californians suffering from schizophrenia have access to medications 
that help them live happy and productive lives, without fear of 
debilitating side effects.
  With the retirement of Mr. Woods, California has lost a strong 
advocate for Mental Health care. We commend Mr. Woods for his effort, 
and wish him a rewarding retirement.
