                    REMEMBERING FELIX ANTON SCHWARZ

  (Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Madam Speaker, it is with great 
honor that I rise today to pay tribute to a friend and a remarkable 
public servant, Felix Anton Schwarz.
  Mr. Schwarz was the executive director of the Health Care Council of 
Orange County, where he had such a passion for working with people 
until his 80th year. Unfortunately, he passed away on the 4th of July.
  Mr. Schwarz will be remembered for his long and productive life in 
which he brought people together to seek solutions to so many of our 
health care issues back home. He was an avid advocate for improved 
access and affordable care for the people of Orange County. Through the 
Health Care Council, Mr. Schwarz was able to educate the public, 
educate health care professionals, and in particular policymakers in 
the need to support the county's safety net of health care services. He 
was a strong voice for the most vulnerable and neglected populations 
within our area.
  Mr. Schwarz's energy and vision touched thousands of individuals. 
Today I rise to honor his memory and the legacy that he has left for 
our community.
