       CONGRATULATING RIVERSIDE CITY COLLEGE ON THEIR CENTENNIAL

  (Mr. TAKANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 100th anniversary 
of Riverside City College, one of the oldest and most respected 
community colleges in California. Since 1916, RCC has provided 
thousands of students with an engaging and affordable educational 
experience that prepares them for successful careers.
  The college boasts of many great alumni who have gone on to lead 
remarkable lives, but the one I admire most is my father. He attended 
RCC to build up credits for a degree in business administration, and 
with that degree he was able to earn a good-paying job that secured my 
family's place in the middle class.
  I was honored to serve on RCC's board of trustees for 22 years, and I 
take pride in what the school continues to do for thousands of students 
every year.
  Congratulations to Riverside City College on your centennial. Thank 
you for the incredible impact you have had on our community.
