  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Eleanor Williams Curry, 
a dedicated community leader from California's 14th Congressional 
District who is being honored as an inductee into the San Mateo County 
Women's Hall of Fame.
  Eleanor Williams Curry is a longtime community activist who, during 
the turmoil of school desegregation, provided invaluable training 
programs in race relations and cultural diversity to our community. 
Administrators, parents, and schools on the local, State, and national 
levels benefited from her expertise, insight, and wisdom. Ms. Curry 
founded the Curry Scholarship for Girls and the Ronald McNair 
Scholarship Fund for the Ravenswood School District.
  Professionally, she is the Coordinator of the Housing Partners in 
East Palo Alto. She is also a founding member of the San Mateo County 
Advisory Council on Women and the Black Women in San Mateo County 
Government, and was cochair of the Women's Hall of Fame from 1984-1993. 
Her community awards include the San Francisco Foundation Award in 1986 
and the John W. Gardner Distinguished Leadership Award in 1992.
  Mr. Speaker, Eleanor Williams Curry is an outstanding citizen of 
California's 14th Congressional District and I salute her for her 
remarkable contributions and unswerving commitment to our community. I 
ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Ms. Curry and congratulate her 
on being inducted into the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame. I am 
privileged to know her, to have worked by her side, and to call her my 
friend.
