                      IN MEMORY OF JUN CHINO, M.D.

  (Mrs. MIMI WALTERS of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. MIMI WALTERS of California. Mr. Speaker, the recent passing of 
Dr. Jun Chino has left many in his southern California community with 
heavy hearts, including my family and myself, who were blessed to have 
had a close personal relationship with him.
  Dr. Chino was the eldest son in a farming family who were moved from 
an internment camp during World War II, losing their land in the 
process.
  Despite their difficult financial circumstances in the post-war 
years, Jun managed to obtain a pre-med degree at Stanford and go on to 
graduate from the university's medical school. Following residency at 
Los Angeles County USC General Hospital, and having achieved board 
certification as an orthopedic surgeon, he practiced for 52 years in 
Orange County.
  He served in leadership positions on countless medical organizations 
and was esteemed by his peers for his skills and for dedicating himself 
to staying on the cutting edge of developments in his field. Dr. Chino 
is survived by his wife, Kazuko, and his daughter, Lisa.
  He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
