Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Paul Goldenberg. Mr. Goldenberg has been a successful businessman in the Los Angeles area for two decades. He has also worked hard to fund and support medical centers and education programs, and has recently been honored with the 2003 Jewish Home for the Aging Lifetime Achievement Award.
Known as ``The King of Big Screen,'' Paul Goldenberg is a self-made businessman who started a TV repair business with $1000 he borrowed from two cousins. For the last 19 years, his La Habra store has sold more big-screen TVs than any other store in America.
Mr. Goldenberg's success has led him to support many charitable causes. Paul's work with the Keeping the Promise Capital Campaign made the opening of the Paul Goldenberg-Daphna and Richard Ziman Special Care Center possible, and he is also a major contributor to the Jewish Home Residential Medical Center and the City of Hope. Mr. Goldenberg is also active in the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
Along with his contributions of time and money to the medical community, Mr. Goldenberg is a dedicated supporter of education and after-school programs. Mr. Goldenberg has been the scholarship director of the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation, an organization devoted to awarding scholarships to children of Highway Patrol employees. This year Mr. Goldenberg and his committee raised over one million dollars to fund 712 scholarships. In June, Paul awarded 43 personally funded scholarships to local high school students.
For his work on behalf of the Los Angeles community, as well as his dedication to education, I am proud to ask all Members to join with me in commending Paul Goldenberg upon receiving the 2003 Jewish Home for the Aging Lifetime Achievement Award.
