                      TRIBUTE TO PATRICIA H. CLARK

                                 ______


                          HON. JAMES T. WALSH

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 13, 1994

  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a true woman of 
achievement. Patricia H. Clark is a resident of Cortland, NY, in my 
home district. She is being honored by the Zonta Club for her 
contributions of time, energy, and intellect. That list of 
contributions is long, indeed.
  It may be interesting to my colleagues to know that the person who 
nominated Ms. Clark chose to note that when it comes to belonging to an 
organization, ``Pat is never a member in name only.''
  She built reality from a dream in the form of the Cortland College 
Children's Center. She turned her energy to the oldest local college 
sorority, Nu Sigma Chi, helping it to survive and rescuing the house 
from becoming low-cost student housing. She led the United Way county-
wide, involved herself with the League of Women Voters, the YWCA, the 
American Association of University Women and the Faculty Wives through 
her marriage to James Clark, president of State University of New York 
College at Cortland.
  Ms. Clark will be honored in my home district on May 1. I ask my 
colleagues to join me in wishing her well on that day of honor for her 
and her family, as well as all the best in a future which bodes well 
for the entire Cortland community.
  I would also recognize the Zonta Club of Cortland, congratulating the 
officers and the entire membership on their good work as well as this 
worthwhile annual award.
