           EILEEN PECH RECEIVES WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH HONORS

                                 ______


                        HON. WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 4, 1996

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding journalist in my district who was recently honored for her 
contributions to her community.
  Ms. Eileen Pech, of Berwyn, IL, was recently named Woman of the Year 
by the Morton Township Women's History Month Committee. The committee 
recognized Ms. Pech, a reporter for the LIFE newspapers, for her 
working toward the betterment of the community.
  Ms. Pech is widely respected in her community for her fair-minded, 
thorough, and often entertaining coverage of local events. She shuns 
the spotlight herself and in accepting the award, said she is ``much 
more comfortable'' sitting in the audience writing about the 
accomplishments of others.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Ms. Pech on receiving this prestigious 
award, and extend to her my best wishes on continued success.
