                            HON. KEN CALVERT

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 16, 1999

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, throughout towns and cities across our 
nation there are individuals who are willing to step forward to 
dedicate their talents and energies to making life better for their 
friends and neighbors. The citizens of Corona, California, are 
fortunate to have such an individual in outgoing Mayor Jan Rudman.
  Mayor Rudman's involvement with Corona city government, and 
community, began in 1994 when she was first elected to the Corona City 
Council. As a councilwoman she represented the community's concerns, 
set priorities for projects and plans of action, allocated funds, and 
made decisions essential to the future of Corona. Her energy seems 
endless, with the long list of her business and community involvements 
including: Circle City Rotary, 1993 Mayor's Task Force, Navy League, 
Corona Chamber of Commerce and First Congregational Church.
  In 1998, the Corona, recognized her leadership and commitment and 
elected her mayor. Since then, she has accomplished many goals which 
have improved the community. One of her greatest accomplishments as 
mayor was the implementation of the ``Partners in Community Service'' 
program, implemented to recognize the many volunteer groups and 
organizations who have given back to the Corona community so 
graciously.
  Mayor Rudman has made a lasting and positive impact in the Corona 
community. Her involvement and leadership has established a path for 
those individuals following in her footsteps. I would like to take this 
opportunity to thank Mayor Rudman for her dedication, influence and 
involvement in our community. She has served as an outstanding 
representative of municipal government. It is a great pleasure for me 
to congratulate Mayor Rudman for the outstanding job she has done as 
Mayor of Corona.
