                      Wednesday, January 26, 2005

  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take 
this opportunity to extend my support to Sandra L. Seeno, a community 
leader and friend who will be formally recognized on February 4, 2005, 
at the grand opening of the Center for Immunobiology and Vaccine 
Development at Children's Hospital in Oakland, California.
  Ms. Seeno has been an ardent supporter of Children's Hospital and 
Research Center at Oakland for more than 20 years. She is committed to 
promoting Children's Hospital and ensuring the delivery of high-quality 
pediatric care. Ms. Seeno has also worked to maintain Children's 
Hospital as a nationally recognized research program with highly 
qualified primary care providers and strong education and teaching 
programs.
  For the past 2 years Ms. Seeno has served as a member of the 
Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) Advisory Board, 
which was established to promote CHORI to philanthropic, scientific and 
business communities. Over the past year she has been particularly 
dedicated to supporting the completion of the Institute's new Center 
for Immunobiology and Vaccine Development (CIVD).
  Ms. Seeno's service as a community advisor has been instrumental in 
present and future development strategies for the Children's Hospital 
and Research Center Foundation. Along with her husband, Albert D. 
Seeno, Jr. she has helped oversee the charitable arm of the Albert D. 
Seeno, Jr. Family Foundation and helped to bring about new projects 
such as the grand opening of the Center for Immunobiology and Vaccine 
Development.
  I congratulate Ms. Seeno for her hard work and dedication to the 
community and the Children's Hospital and Research Center at Oakland.
