                       Wednesday, August 4, 1999

  Mrs. WILSON. Mr. Speaker, I wish to bring to your attention the 
outstanding work of Janice Ussery. She was recently recognized for her 
community service to Albuquerque, New Mexico.
  Janice Ussery volunteers with the Meals on Wheels Association in 
Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is in the First Congressional District 
of New Mexico. Recently, the Meals on Wheels Association of America 
named her their Volunteer of the Year. Janice started volunteering with 
Meals on Wheels in 1981 as a driver delivering hot meals to clients.
  Her campaign for providing quality meals played a major part in the 
Albuquerque Meals on Wheels obtaining a kitchen of their own. Through 
her involvement the quality of home cooked meals delivered to the needy 
improved. The improvements came, not only from the product, but through 
creating a friendly working environment for staff and volunteers.
  Janice Ussery not only brings meals to the needy, she also brings 
pride to our community. Mr. Speaker, I thank Ms. Ussery for her hard 
work and dedication and ask that we recognize her.
