  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, today I wish to say a special word of 
tribute to Dorothy ``Dottie'' Mae Vansandt, the former Cass County, 
Missouri, Public Administrator, who passed away recently at the age of 
75.
  Dottie Vansandt was an important civic leader in Cass County, 
Missouri. She served as the county's public administrator from 1977 to 
1992 and devoted her time to various community organizations. She was a 
member of

the United Methodist Church in Harrisonville, MO, and served as a board 
member for the Cassco Area Workshop. She also served as a member of the 
Bayard Chapter No. 179 Order of the Eastern Star. In addition, Dottie 
was a member of the Cass County Central Democratic Committee, the Cass 
County Women's Democrat Club, and was a Shrine Circus Mom. In 1993, 
Dottie was honored as the Cass County Democrat Woman of the Year.
  Mrs. Vansandt is survived by a son, a daughter, a stepdaughter, eight 
grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker. Dottie Vansandt's public services makes her a role model 
for young civil leaders. I am certain that the Members of the House 
will join me in honoring this Missourian who will be missed by all who 
knew her.
