                       Wednesday, October 2, 2013

  Ms. BROWNLEY of California. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor my 
predecessor, former-Congressman Elton Gallegly for his steadfast 
dedication to Ventura County and his service as an elected official for 
thirty-three years.
  Starting his career as a member of the Simi Valley City Council and 
serving as Simi Valley's Mayor, Congressman Gallegly was a tireless 
advocate for Simi Valley, Ventura County, and the State of California. 
He is remembered fondly in Congress by the many Members who had the 
pleasure of serving with him on the House Judiciary Committee and the 
House Foreign Affairs Committee.
  The Elton and Janice Gallegly Center for Public Service and Civic 
Engagement at California Lutheran University is a fitting tribute to 
Congressman Gallegly's career and on-going service to our community. 
The Center will prepare our next generation of leaders for careers in 
public policy while also teaching them the core principles of integrity 
and veracity.
  In partnership with the center, the Ronald Reagan Presidential 
Library has generously offered to give students the prestigious 
opportunity to intern at the library. The Elton and Janice Gallegly 
Center for Public Service and Civic Engagement will be a great addition 
to Ventura County.
  I want to personally thank Congressman Gallegly for all of his years 
of public service to our Nation. I wish him, and his wife, Janice, all 
the best in the next chapter their life together.
