                       Thursday, October 19, 1995

  Mrs. VUCANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an outstanding 
citizen of the great State of Nevada. Autumn Keyes-Ita has been active 
in Republican and civic duties for the past 30 years. She has put many 
hours 

[[Page E 1983]]
into improving the lives of her fellow Nevadans through her work at the 
Community College of southern Nevada, as well as representing Nevada at 
three Republican national conventions. Presently doing post-graduate 
work at the University of California, Dominquez Hills, Autumn was 
awarded a fellowship to research her paternal family, one of the 
founding families of Gonzales County TX, during the time that Texas was 
still a territory.
  Autumn has served under three Governors and two Presidents, as well 
as running the Clark County office of the Republican Party in 1972. 
Along with these accomplishments, Autumn has spent her life in the 
service of children and adults who are mentally challenged. Her love of 
the arts has led her to serve an assistant directorship of two major 
Broadway hits, Oklahoma and Carousel.
  Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Autumn Keyes-Ita for her outstanding 
accomplishments and civic pride. She is a shinning example of women 
making a difference in their community.
