  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding individual on the occasion of her 70th birthday, Mrs. Sue 
Beittel. Mrs. Beittel has devoted tremendous time and energy working 
for the betterment of her community in Marin County, CA.
  Over the course of more than 30 years of public service, Mrs. Beittel 
focused here attention on the issues critical to a successful 
community. She has felt passionate about working for schools, housing, 
transportation, the environment, and preserving the democratic process. 
Mrs. Beittel served two terms on the San Rafael Board of Education and 
was on the statewide task force on vocational education. In recognition 
of her work for housing, Mrs. Beittel was the recipient of the 1997 Mel 
Boyce Award from the Ecumenical Association for Housing in San Rafael.
  Some of the many organizations she has been active with include: the 
Audubon Society, the Family Service Agency, the League of Women voters, 
the Marin Education Fund, the Mental Health Association, the North San 
Rafael Coalition of Residents, the San Rafael Housing Coalition, and 
the St. Vincent/Silveira Citizens Advisory Committee.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay tribute to Sue Beittel. 
She embodies a truly selfless sense of volunteerism. I wish her, her 
husband Dan, and their family, the best.
