                          HON. LYNN C. WOOLSEY

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 12, 1995
  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor two brave and very 
dedicated women, Nancy Hudson and Nancy Knoble, who are deserving of 
special congressional recognition for their efforts to call 
international attention to the battle against breast cancer. They are 
very 
[[Page E1029]] positive role models for other women faced with this 
same situation.
  The two Nancy's recently participated in a successful climbing 
expedition of the 23,085-foot Mount Aconcagua in Argentina in which 16 
breast cancer survivors took part. They should be commended for their 
participation in this novel effort, organized by Breast Cancer Fund of 
San Francisco, to raise money for research and treatment of breast 
cancer. The two were recently recognized by the White House for their 
efforts during the Clinton administration's Medicare Mammography 
Awareness Campaign. I know that their enthusiastic response to fighting 
this disease in such an active manner helps to motivate others to 
redouble their efforts against this deadly disease, as well as the 
example they set and hope they give to other cancer survivors.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay tribute to Nancy and 
Nancy for their extraordinary efforts. I am very proud to be 
representing these two remarkable women in Congress. I extend my 
heartfelt congratulations and deep appreciation to Nancy Hudson and 
Nancy Knoble for their tremendous achievements.
