  Mrs. KENNELLY. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to honor an 
outstanding individual who has made a great contribution to the 
assurance of rights and opportunities for women in Connecticut and the 
Nation, Frederica K. Gray.
  As executive director of the State of Connecticut Permanent 
Commission on the Status of Women, Frederica Gray has worked diligently 
and successfully toward the elimination of sex discrimination and the 
improvement of economic and social opportunities for all women. She has 
been instrumental in developing public policy and programs to improve 
the status of women through numerous boards, commissions, and councils, 
and has been an effective liaison between the executive and legislative 
branches of State government.
  Frederica Gray has been a strong voice on behalf of women's rights, 
opportunities, and accomplishments in many forums, including 
universities, government panels, international conferences, and the 
media. She has been the recipient of numerous awards at the city, 
State, and national levels, including a doctorate in humanities honoris 
causa through Briarwood College. She is the author of numerous 
publications concerning the status of women.
  Frederica K. Gray is a bastion of strength for all citizens of 
Connecticut and the Nation. I join many others in honoring her 
accomplishments and in extending my very best wishes for her future 
endeavors.
