                        Wednesday, April 4, 2001

  Ms. HARMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Bob Pinzler for his 
outstanding service to the citizens of Redondo Beach, California.
  As a member of the Redondo Beach City Council for the past eight 
years, Bob demonstrated a profound commitment to civic service. He is 
known as a relentless advocate of better city government. He championed 
more effective use of technology by municipalities. He fought for 
infrastructure improvements and community development projects whose 
positive impacts have been felt throughout the City of Redondo Beach 
and indeed the entire South Bay.
  Responding to his constituents' concerns about increased noise, 
pollution and traffic resulting from proposed expansion of Los Angeles 
International Airport, Bob worked with me and other civic leaders and 
elected officials on a task force shaping a regional approach to 
solving Southern California's air transportation needs. Our work 
continues, but Bob has made an invaluable contribution. I know that we 
will continue to work together on this issue.
  In addition to his service on the Redondo Beach City Council, Bob is 
the current State League Director of the League of California Cities 
and was President of the League's Los Angeles County Division. He is 
the past president of the South Bay Cities Council of Governments. He 
is a member of the Regional Council of the Southern California 
Association of Governments and was vice-chair of the Santa Monica Bay 
Restoration Project.
  Bob is a friend and an ally. I extend my very best wishes to him and 
his wife Arlene as they move into an exciting new chapter of their 
lives. It has always been a privilege to work with Bob and I invite my 
colleagues to join me in commending his exemplary public service.
