  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Lynda Burton, a 
dedicated community leader who is being honored as an inductee into the 
San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Lynda Burton has served the community as an attorney at the Legal Aid 
Society of San Mateo County since 1981, representing low-income clients 
in family law, domestic violence, landlord-tenant, and consumer 
protection cases. She has made important contributions to the County 
Task force on Violence Against Women, the Family Law Center, Sor Juana 
Inez, and the Center for Domestic Violence Protection. She gives 
generously of her time to Planned Parenthood and is a strong supporter 
of human rights in Latin America. She participated in the Fourth World 
Conference on Women in Beijing and has brought the news of this and 
many other important meetings to the Spanish speaking women of San 
Mateo County. She is an exemplary public servant, dedicated to making 
our legal system accessible and effective for the poor and 
disadvantaged.
  Mr. Speaker, Lynda Burton is an outstanding citizen and I salute her 
for her remarkable contributions and commitment to our community. I ask 
my colleagues to join me in honoring and congratulating her on being 
inducted into the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
