  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Richard Schwartz for the significant contributions he has made 
throughout the United States through his commitment to Goodwill 
Industries.
  Richard Schwartz serves as a member of the Board of Governors of 
Goodwill Industries in Santa Clara County, CA, and has served on 
religious, organizational, and government boards in Boston, MA, and 
professional and health care organizations in New Jersey.
  In addition to serving in the U.S. Army in Korea from 1953-1954, 
Richard has worked in interior design, insurance sales, and 
pharmaceuticals, and served as director of Government and Trade 
Operations and vice president of Customer and Industry Affairs for 
Syntex Laboratories Inc.
  Richard Schwartz chaired the National Wholesale Druggist's 
Association health care awareness event and produced and codirected a 
major health care conference at the University of Southern California 
Center of Excellence in Health Care Management.
  Not only has Richard Schwartz served as a member of the board and 
chairman of the Government Affairs Committee of Goodwill and served 
Santa Clara County, but he also represented 13 communities throughout 
the State by serving on the Council of California Goodwill Industries. 
After dedicated service to both the State and Goodwill Industries, 
Richard received the Chairman's Award by Goodwill Industries 
International for outstanding leadership in a volunteer capability.
  Mr. Speaker, Richard Schwartz has been an active volunteer who has 
greatly increased the visibility of the Goodwill mission. It is 
appropriate that we recognize Richard at this time for his commitment 
and devotion to community service, the Goodwill organization and to our 
Nation.
