  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to bring to the attention of my

every committee within the Santa Barbara County United Way 
organization, including Vice-Chair of ``Burn the Mortgage in 90'' 
Campaign, founding member of the Endowment Committee and Leadership 
Circle Committee, and Board Treasurer and President.
  Board certified in Psychiatry and Neurology, now retired, Dr. Ursula 
Henderson Drew was in private practice in Santa Barbara since 1977. She 
married Wallace T. Drew in 1993. She has served on the Santa Barbara 
City College Foundation and on the Advisory Committee for the Garvin

  Mr. Speaker, I was honored to join the United Way in recognizing 
Wallace and Ursula Drew for their generosity to the City of Santa 
Barbara. I am inspired by the Drews' service and commitment to their 
fellow citizens. The lifetime achievements of Wallace and Ursula 
Henderson Drew will continue in perpetuity.
