                           HON. DUNCAN HUNTER

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 21, 1994

  Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the retirement of 
an outstanding public servant in my home district. Over her long and 
distinguished career, Linda Britschgi served the city of Holtville, CA, 
as a true representative of the people.
  Her service for 5 years on the Holtville Planning Commission, 12 
years on the City Council and two terms as the Mayor of Holtville 
composed an important chapter in the history of this small desert town. 
Whether she was fighting for street repairs or other infrastructure 
projects, Linda Britschgi maintained the interests of Holtville as her 
first priority. Over the years, she recognized the need to attract new 
business to the area and helped facilitate the Imperial Valley's 
increasing role as a region of commerce. Linda championed the cause of 
providing low-income housing for city residents. and represented the 
interests of the family as chairperson of the Wesley Day Care Board of 
Directors. Throughout her tenure, she was also deeply involved in 
community group activities.
  As the mother of three, Linda Britschgi balanced her family life with 
the life of a determined public servant. Such dedication is worthy of 
compliment and I wish her the best in all of her future endeavors.
