                        Wednesday, March 2, 1994

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Elizabeth Linn 
Traubman, a dedicated community leader who is being honored as an 
inductee into the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Elizabeth Linn Traubman is an exceptional public servant who has been 
serving the needs of her community for 25 years. She has worked with so 
many, including the elderly, families of retarded children, 
postsurgical and terminally ill hospital patients, and war veterans. As 
a full-time volunteer, she was instrumental in the formation of the 
antiwar group Beyond War now known as the Foundation for Global 
Community. She has worked to create trust and understanding between 
those involved in the Middle East conflict. She cofounded monthly 
dialogs in her home between local Jews and Palestinians and helped 
organize a 1991 meeting of Israelis and Palestinians in the Santa Cruz 
Mountains. She also helped organize the 1993 Armenia/Azerbaijan 
Initiative Conference held in Ben Lomond. In addition, she has been a 
member of the steering committee of County 2000 since its inception and 
has helped organize its series of public forums and programs focusing 
on the future of San Mateo County, CA.
  Mr. Speaker, Elizabeth Linn Traubman is an outstanding citizen and I 
salute her for her remarkable contributions and commitment to our 
community. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Ms. Traubman and 
congratulate her on being inducted into the San Mateo County Women's 
Hall of Fame.
