                         TRIBUTE TO JOYCE RIDE

  Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I rise to recognize the exceptional 
efforts of Joyce Ride whose years of public service have enriched both 
the communities of Los Angeles and Capitol Hill.
  Ms. Ride's work through the Ride Internship Program at Santa Monica 
College provides deserving students with the opportunity to intern on 
Capitol Hill for the summer. This program enhances the education of our 
leaders of tomorrow. Ms. Ride sponsored Ramin Youssefzadeh, an Iranian 
Jew who contributed a unique international perspective and was a 
tremendous asset to our office this summer.
  In addition, as chair of the Subcommittee on Women in the Justice 
System which is included in the State Senate Women's Advisory 
Commission, Joyce Ride continues championing the rights of incarcerated 
women. Her efforts include an attempt to eliminate gender bias in 
prison healthcare and shield children from the tolls incarceration 
often takes on families.
  I commend her outstanding work as Chair of Friends Outside, an 
organization that advocates the rights of incarcerated women. Also, I 
applaud the dedication to these women and their children apparent from 
Ms. Ride's many years of work on their behalf.
  Joyce Ride is an exemplary citizen who makes a difference in the 
lives of many. I wish to honor her accomplishments.
