           COMMENTS  

           Purpose.   This measure honors Mr. Kirk E. Breed, who had a  
          notable career in public service as a member and regional  
          director of the Peace Corp in South America, an Assembly  
          committee consultant, manager of Cal Expo, and executive  
          director of the California Horse Racing Board.

          According to the author, Mr. Breed demonstrated a lifelong  
          passion for horses and the cowboy culture of the American West,  
          producing the America's Wild West Show, lobbying on behalf of  
          interests such as the Pacific Coast Quarter Horse Racing  
          Association and Ray Cammack Carnival Shows, and leading annual  
          trail rides with the Flying Cowboys and Sonoma Trail Blazers for  
          over 25 years.  Supporters state that Mr. Breed worked  
          "tirelessly for high professional health and safety standards in  
          horse racing."
