                           HON. ANNA G. ESHOO

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 9, 1995
  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today during National Women's History 
Month to salute the remarkable women of California's 14th Congressional 
District who have been elected to govern it.
  This year, as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of women's suffrage, 
it is fitting that we honor those women who devote their time and 
talents to local and State government. The efforts and public service 
of these remarkable women provide our district with extraordinary 
leadership. While we take time during this month to commemorate 
historic women and their achievements, we also take this opportunity to 
honor the contributions women in government are currently making to our 
communities.
  Our region is blessed with superbly capable women leaders. These 
distinguished women are: State Assemblywoman Jackie Speier; Mary 
Griffin of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors; Blanca Alvarado 
and Dianne McKenna of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors; city 
council members Nanette Chapman and Mayor Dianne Fisher of Atherton; 
Nancy Levitt, Pam Rianda, and Mayor Adele Della Santina of Belmont; 
Barbara Koppel and Lauralee Sorenson of Cupertino; Mayor Rose Jacobs 
Gibson, Myrtle Walker, and Sharifa Wilson of East Palo Alto; Mayor 
Naomi Patridge and Deborah Ruddock of Half Moon Bay; Patricia Williams 
and Margaret Bruno of Los Altos; Toni Casey and Mayor Elayne Dauber of 
Los Altos Hills; Bernie Nevin of Menlo Park; Susan Ayers, Suzanne 
Hayes-Kane, and Angela Meyer of the Midcoast Community Advisory 
Council; Dena Bonnell, Mayor Patricia Figueroa, and Maryce Freelen of 
Mountain View; Liz Kniss, Jean McCown, Micki Schneider, and Lainie 
Wheeler of Palo Alto; Beverly Fields, Maeva Neale, and Meredith 
Reynolds of the Pescadero Municipal Advisory Council; Nancy Vian of 
Portola Valley; Judy Buchan, Mayor Daniela Gasparini, Georgia LaBerge, 
Diane Howard, and Janet Steinfeld of Redwood City; Sally Mitchell of 
San Carlos; Robin Parker, Frances Rowe, and Mayor Barbara Waldman of 
Sunnyvale; and Susan Crocker, Carol Fisch, and Barbara Seitle of 
Woodside.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting these 
remarkable women and the extraordinary contributions they are making to 
their communities and our country. These gifted leaders are fitting 
representatives of the many women who make history every day, and their 
efforts on behalf of the people of California's 14th Congressional 
District are invaluable and appreciated by all.
