                        Friday, January 20, 1995
  Mr. PASTOR. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Ms. Sarah R. ``Sally'' Simmons who was recently chosen 
Tucson's Woman of the Year for 1994. This award, given by the Tucson 
Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, recognizes outstanding individuals 
who have selflessly helped others.
  Through her career and dedication to the community, Sally Simmons is 
both a role model and an inspiration to those around her. In 1993, she 
became the first Tucson woman and second woman ever to become president 
of the Arizona Bar Association. She is also a partner in the firm of 
Brown & Bain, where she specializes in real estate law.
  In addition to her thriving career, Ms. Simmons contributes her 
personal time to various boards and community organizations. She serves 
on the Board of Directors for Southern Arizona Legal Aid, D-M 50, 
Lawyers Against Hunger, and is on the advisory board of Tucsonians for 
a Drug Free Workplace. Ms. Simmons is a charter member of the Arizona 
Women Lawyer's Association and has served on the board of the 
Alcoholism Council of Tucson.
  Again, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Ms. 
Simmons and especially to thank her for all she is doing to improve the 
lives of the people of Tucson and throughout Arizona.
