  TRIBUTE TO JANE SMALL, FOUNDER OF NATIONAL WOMEN'S POLITICAL CAUCUS

  (Ms. WOOLSEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Jane Small, one of 
the founding mothers of the National Women's Political Caucus. Jane 
recently passed away.
  In 1971, Jane worked to found the NWPC to recruit and support women 
seeking elected office regardless of party affiliation.
  During Jane's history, she guided the caucus through the ERA movement 
and the struggle to secure a woman's right for reproductive choice. As 
an inspired feminist and activist, Jane was a key player in electing 
numerous candidates across the Nation.
  I know Jane particularly for her leadership in California politics. 
She served on both Governor Jerry Brown's and Governor Gray Davis' 
advisory committees on women's issues.
  Jane was an activist. She was a leader. Women in the political arena 
live in her legacy. She will be forever missed.
