Lawyers, the largest Women's Bar Association in the world. Vivian L.

San Mateo County to have earned the honor of presiding over the

Lawyers President's Award for passion and commitment for her work in 
promoting the advancement of women in the legal profession and society. 
In addition to her work as a practicing attorney, Vivian L. Kral

the Hastings College of Oral Advocacy. She is also the vice president 
of the Planned Parenthood Association of San Mateo County, president of 
the San Mateo County's National Women's Political Caucus, and a member 
of the County Bar Association Board of Directors.
  Mr. Speaker, Vivian L. Kral is an outstanding citizen and I salute 
her for her contributions and commitment to serving our community. I 
ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Vivian L. Kral and 
congratulate her on being inducted into the San Mateo County Women's
