Matthew G. Martinez, Chairman, presiding. Members present: Representatives Martinez and Woolsey. Staff present: Lester H. Sweeting, staff director, counsel; Daniel Adcock, legislative analyst; and Maxine Grant, chief of staff. Chairman Martinez. This meeting will come to order. Good morning. I would like to welcome all of you here today to Monterey Park. Monterey Park is my home town and the place where we're having this meeting is where I began my public service. First let me say that sitting here on the dais in this district in this city hall really is a great pleasure for me. When I was on the city council here in Monterey Park I was directly involved in the creation of this facility. And although I have, of course, on many occasions visited city hall, met in other rooms in the city hall, both officially and unofficially, this is the first time I have ever sat on a dais that I was really responsible for creating. I am really proud of this facility and the other facilities that were built at the same time. It might interest you that, as part of the project that we developed the city hall, we also developed the senior citizen center at Langley. We also created a Brightwood Cafetorium and a Macy School Gymnasium. Of all the things that we included in that portfolio, those are the things that I am most proud of. I want to take the time now to thank the mayor of Monterey Park, Fred Balderama, a good friend of mine, and the city council, of course, for allowing us to hold this hearing here at the city hall. I believe that cooperation between the Federal and local governments is one of the ways that we can achieve success in reaching President Clinton's vision for a revitalized America. President Clinton spoke at his inaugural about making investments in our precious resources so that we can reap the dividends of those investments, throughout the remainder of the nineties and into the 21st century, I believe we can do that.
