  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Jessica Frank, a 
dedicated youth leader who is being honored as an inductee into the San 
Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Jessica Frank is a recipient of the National Council of Teachers of 
English Writing Award and has won accolades from her teachers for her 
creativity and determination. She has volunteered as a teacher's aide 
with emotionally disturbed third and fourth graders, has tutored a 
runaway youth who speaks English as a second language, and is a member 
of Moving On Racial Equality. Jessica has created projects that combine 
community service and social justice for her 400-member church youth 
organization and helped renovate an elementary school in a low-income 
area in San Francisco. She has organized and conducted a workshop on 
homelessness and spent last summer tutoring on a Navajo reservation. 
She

  Jessica Frank is outstanding citizen and I salute her for her 
remarkable contributions and commitment to our community. I ask my

inducted into the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
