                        Monday, October 29, 2001

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Beth Grafton-
Cardwell for being named an Extension Specialist Award finalist by the 
Friends of Agricultural Extension. The Friends of Agricultural 
Extension will recognize Beth at their annual awards dinner.
  Beth is a U.C. Riverside Extension Entomologist at the Kearny 
Agriculture Center in Parlier, CA. She conducts a multifaceted program 
to help citrus growers reduce their pest problems while maintaining 
fruit quality, a positive economic return, and a reduction of broad-
spectrum pesticide use. An important contribution to California's 
citrus industry has been her ongoing evaluation of continually changing 
insect pest problems. Beth is currently in the process of developing a 
mobile laboratory to use as an onsite research and teaching aid.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Beth Grafton-Cardwell for being named an 
Extension Specialist Award finalist by the Friends of Agricultural 
Extension. I urge my colleagues to join me in wishing Beth Grafton-
Cardwell many more years of continued success.
