                      HONORING SERGIO KLOR DE ALVA

  (Mr. FARR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Sergio Klor 
de Alva.
  Sergio was a member of the Farr congressional team, and was taken 
from us in a tragic accident late Monday night. Sergio served as an 
intern in my office. He was engaging, kind, and ever helpful.
  Upon leaving Washington, he returned to the University of California 
at Santa Cruz, and he won a place on the student council. He later 
volunteered his time to work in Congressman Mike Honda's reelection 
campaign. At 24, he had amassed a resume that spoke to the dedication 
and passion he had for civil service.
  I was and continue to be impressed with this young man's incredible 
ambition. His future would have undoubtedly been one of public service.
  Upon leaving my office, Sergio said in his exit interview:

       I cannot tell the future, but I can see mine here. But 
     until that day, know that I will miss this place.

  Rest assured, Sergio, this place will miss you. God bless your short, 
but so meaning meaningful, life and your beautiful family who have to 
live in the tragedy of your death.
