                        Tuesday, April 13, 1999

  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring to the attention of my 
colleagues an extraordinary doctor and friend who was recently honored 
for twenty-five years of outstanding service in Santa Barbara County--
Dr. Mary Cederberg.
  A graduate of the University of Missouri, Mary received her M.D. from 
the University of Louisville, Kentucky. She then completed a Fellowship 
at Boston Children's Hospital and worked briefly at Harvard University. 
Since 1956, Mary has worked tirelessly as a pediatrician and an 
advocate for children.
  During Mary's twenty-five years of service with the Santa Barbara 
County Public Health Department, she has directed the California 
Children's Services program as well as the Children's Health and 
Disease Prevention (C.H.D.P.) program. It is through the C.H.D.P. 
program that Mary has left her mark on the entire county of Santa 
Barbara, by providing innovative and comprehensive preventive care to 
thousands of children.
  Mary is a dedicated, hardworking, hands-on doctor, who does whatever 
it takes to help the children and families she serves. It has been an 
honor to have worked with her for so many years. Dr. Mary Cederberg is 
a role-model for our nation and her service exemplifies how we want 
public health care to work. I will continue to look to Mary's vision 
and leadership as our nation addresses health care for children.
  Mr. Speaker, today I celebrate Dr. Mary Cederberg's career and I 
commend her for years of service to the County of Santa Barbara and to 
our nation.
