                        Wednesday, June 6, 2001

  Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute 
and honor to the accomplishments of Mr. David Grossberg of Ontario, 
California.
  Mr. Grossberg is the outgoing President for the City of Ontario 
Chamber of Commerce. According to his peers, Mr. Grossberg has 
demonstrated exceptional personal and civic leadership in his role as 
President and was actively involved in his community. Mr. Grossberg 
showed great commitment to the Chamber and was truly dedicated to 
serving as President.
  The Chamber's accomplishments under Mr. Grossberg's tenure as 
President and Vice President have been numerous and impressive: the 
Chamber averaged 20 new members a month and ended the year with its 
largest budget surplus to date. As a result of Mr. Grossberg's 
leadership, the Inland Valley Chamber Alliance was formed to bring the 
local chambers closer on regional issues. During his term, the Chamber 
was successful in partnering with the California Manufacturer's 
Technology Center, who will co-sponsor the Chamber's Industrial Forum. 
Creation of the Ontario Chamber Service Club Round Table and Marketing 
Forum were two more examples of Mr. Grossberg's commitment to providing 
members with vital networking tools.
  During his Presidency, the first Service Club Project was completed. 
In a joint effort by local service clubs, more than 1,000 rose bushes 
were planted on Euclid Avenue. Mr. Grossberg was also instrumental in 
saving the annual Christmas Nativity scenes on Euclid Avenue.
  In addition to his duties as President of the Chamber, Mr. Grossberg 
serves on the Chamber's Board of Directors, Downtown Ontario Business 
and Professional Association, Director, Inland Empire West Resource 
Conservation District, member of the Ontario Rotary Club, and was a 
former member of the Downtown Ontario Revitalization Committee.
  Mr. Grossberg's tenure as President of the Ontario Chamber of 
Commerce brought great leadership in the development of strong economic 
development programs and public policy. He has achieved an impressive 
record of career and civic accomplishments and, in doing so, has earned 
the admiration and respect of those who have the privilege of working 
with him. I would like to congratulate him on these accomplishments and 
sincerely thank him for his service to his community. He is truly 
deserving of the accolades of this Congress.
