  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Nancy 
Pitigliano for receiving a 2001 Common Threads Award. This award is 
presented to women in agriculture who have made a remarkable 
contribution to their community through volunteer work and 
philanthropy.
  Nancy Pitigliano has worked at the state and federal level to advance 
the cause of farmers and ranchers in California agriculture. Nancy and 
her husband, Charlie, operate a custom farming and harvesting company. 
She is active in the Tulare County Farm Bureau, where she currently 
holds the office of first vice-president. She has been involved with 
the Farm Bureau Youth Leadership, California Farm Bureau Federation 
Water Advisory Committee, California Women for Agriculture, San Joaquin 
River Coalition, Friant Farm PAC, Breast Cancer Awareness, World Ag 
Expo, Tulare Les Petit Children's Home Society, Tulare Garden Club, and 
St. Aloysius Church.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Nancy Pitigliano for 
earning a 2001 Common Threads Award. She has shown outstanding 
involvement, not only in agriculture, but also in strengthening her 
community. I urge my colleagues to join me in wishing Ms. Pitigliano a 
bright future and continued success.
