  Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, I with my colleague from California, Mr. 
Honda, wish to congratulate the Women's Fund of Silicon Valley, on the 
occasion of the 2001 Annual Women of Achievement Awards. The Women's 
Fund of Silicon Valley is a non-profit organization that has 
recognized, honored and supported the work of women and girls since 
1972.

categories: arts, communications, community service, business, 
education, elected public service, entrepreneurship, labor, 
professional, public service, science and technology, small business, 
sports and volunteerism.
  The Women's Fund has provided scholarships for training and education 
to help women and girls achieve their goals. The Women's Fund also 
generously contributes to local non-profit organizations that serve 
women and girls.
  The Women's Fund of Silicon Valley has worked on behalf of women and 
girls in California for almost twenty years. We are grateful to the 
organization and its members for making it possible for women and girls 
to achieve their dreams.
