	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 18, as introduced, Gorell. Seabees Memorial Highway.
   This measure would designate a portion of State Highway Route 1 in
the County of Ventura as the Seabees Memorial Highway. The measure
also would request the Department of Transportation to determine the
cost of appropriate signs showing that special designation and, upon
receiving donations from nonstate sources sufficient to cover the
cost, to erect those signs.
   Fiscal committee: yes.



   WHEREAS, The Seabees, the Combat Warfare Specialists of the United
States Navy's Civil Engineer Corps, are tasked with providing expert
engineering, planning, and construction missions, often under
extreme pressure and while facing difficult obstacles; and
   WHEREAS, Ventura County, this state, and this country owe a great
debt and gratitude to all veterans of this country; and
   WHEREAS, It is important to recognize the many accomplishments of
the Seabees, from successes during World War II to today, and even in
one of the most inhospitable regions on Earth, Antarctica; and
   WHEREAS, It is appropriate to honor all Seabees who have served in
this country's Navy, both in war and in peacetime, and to pay
tribute to the tremendous sacrifices the Seabees have made to
maintain the strength, freedom, and independence of our country; now,
therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates that
portion of State Highway Route 1 in the County of Ventura, from the
milepost nearest to Point Mugu to South Rice Avenue in the City of
Oxnard, as the Seabees Memorial Highway, in order to honor all
Seabees who have served in the Navy of the United States; and be it
further
   Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested to
determine the cost of appropriate signs, consistent with the signing
requirements for the state highway system, showing this special
designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources
sufficient to cover the cost, to erect those signs; and be it further

   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the Department of Transportation and to the author
for appropriate distribution.
