                       Friday, September 27, 1996

  Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to Maggie Kildee on the occasion of her impending 
retirement from the County of Ventura Board of Supervisors.
  Supervisor Kildee is a native of California and a graduate of the 
University of Redlands

with a B.A. in education. She received her M.A. degree in public 
administration from California Lutheran University. Before her election 
to the Board of Supervisors, she was a teacher and an administrator 
with the Pleasant Valley School District.
  First elected to the Ventura County Board of Supervisors in November 
1980, Supervisor Kildee was one of the first two women elected to the 
Board and in 1982 served as its first woman chairperson.
  Supervisor Maggie Kildee's leadership contributed to a number of 
important developments within Ventura County. Her various programs 
included the County's Greenbelt Agreements between cities, the first-
in-the-state Agricultural Lands Preservation Program, the Ventura 
County Council on Economic Vitality, and the ``Beyond the Year 2000 
Committee''. She also served as the chair for numerous committees such 
as the Ventura County Medical Center Oversight Committee, the Ventura 
County Jail Ad-Hoc Committee, and the Ventura County Waste Commission.
  As the end of her term draws near, I would like to extend my 
gratitude and appreciation to Maggie Kildee for her dedication to both 
the County of Ventura, CA, and the Board of Supervisors.
