                      TRIBUTE TO CLARA LEE JACOBS

                                 ______


                           HON. ANNA G. ESHOO

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 2, 1994

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Clara Lee Jacobs, 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.
  Clara Lee Jacobs is an exceptional public servant who has been a 
foster parent for abused and neglected children for 23 years. She is 
currently a trainer for Model Approach to Partnerships classes which 
are offered by the County of San Mateo. When her own son was born deaf, 
she was determined that his disability would not be an excuse for 
failure, and she encouraged and empowered him to be independent. She 
was honored by the San Mateo County Social Services Department in 1989 
and the Palo Alto Sertoma Club in 1987.
  Mr. Speaker, Clara Lee Jacobs is an outstanding citizen of 
California's 14th Congressional District and I salute her for her 
remarkable contributions and commitment to youth in our community. I 
ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Ms. Jacobs and congratulating 
her on being inducted into the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
