  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Priya Karim Haji and 
her upcoming induction into the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Priya Karim Haji is only 24 years old and has already made remarkable 
contributions to our community. Currently she is the executive director 
and cofounder of Free at Last Community and Rehabilitation Services, 
which is an organization providing drug and alcohol recovery programs. 
While in college, Ms. Haji developed a comprehensive after-school 
activities program for high school youth, helped to found a free 
medical clinic, and organized a Midnight Basketball League. In 
addition, she served as a facilitator for a weekly substance abuse 
group at San Quentin Prison, volunteered with the County AIDS Program, 
and worked as a substance abuse counselor for Links to Positive People.
  Mr. Speaker, Priya Karim Haji is an outstanding citizen, and I 
commend her for her remarkable commitment and contributions to our 
community. I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting her as she is 
being inducted into the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
