           SUBJECT :    Viet Dzung Human Rights Memorial Highway

           DIGEST  :    This resolution names a portion of State Highway  
          Route (SR) 39 in Orange County as the Viet Dzung Human Rights  
          Memorial Highway.

           ANALYSIS  :     Background on Viet Dzung  .  Born in Saigon in South  
          Vietnam in 1958, Nguyen Ngoc Hung Dung, as he was named, left  
          his native country at the end of the Vietnam war.  When he  
          arrived in the United States in 1976, Nguyen Ngoc Hung Dung made  
          his home in Orange County, where he became a pillar of the  
          Vietnamese-American community.  Using the name Viet Dzung, "Hero  
          of Vietnam," he succeeded as a musician, radio personality, and  
          well-known advocate for Vietnamese civil rights.

          As a child Viet Dzung suffered a bout of polio that resulted in  
          his using crutches for much of his life.  He died in December of  
                                                                CONTINUED

                                                                     Page

          Boulevard, between its intersection with Interstate 405 and  
          Talbert Avenue in Orange County as the Viet Dzung Human Rights  
          Memorial Highway.  This resolution further requests that the
