                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 30, 1997

  Mrs. TAUSCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my heartfelt 
congratulations to my constituent and friend Juanita Haugen from 
Pleasanton for serving as the California School Board Association's 
president for the past year.
  We are extremely fortunate to have someone as dedicated as Juanita 
Haugen serving in the 10th Congressional District. I applaud her for 
her continuous efforts on behalf of children and their education in 
Pleasanton and in the State of California as a whole.
  Juanita Haugen has served as a school board member in Pleasanton for 
over 16 years. A member of the California School Board Association's 
delegate assembly since 1981, Juanita has sat on a number of the 
association's committees, including the Legislative Network, Federal 
Relations Network, Finance, Legal Alliance Steering, and Budget and 
Resolution. She has chaired the Small School Districts Task Force, the 
Role of the Board Leadership Committee, the Audit Committee and the 
Legislative Committee on Restructuring and Reform. Juanita is also past 
president of the California Suburban School Districts Association and 
has been a representative of the Association's board of directors since 
1989.
  She has been the recipient of awards from many civil organizations in 
Pleansanton. Some of the organizations that have recognized her include 
the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce, who presented her with the 
Excellence in Education Award, and the Soroptimist International of 
Pleasanton, who presented her with the Woman of Distinction Award.
  Though Juanita is leaving her post as president of the California 
School Board Association, I take great comfort in knowing that she will 
continue to serve on the Pleasanton School Board. She is an incredible 
resource, and you can certainly expect me to continue to take advantage 
of her knowledge. Let me again offer my warmest congratulations to 
Juanita for her efforts on behalf of the students of California's 
public schools and the constituents of the 10th Congressional District.
