                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 16, 2001

  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to pay tribute to a woman 
who has dedicated so much of her time and effort to the citizens and 
organizations of the community of Santa Barbara, California, Ms. Carnzu 
Clark. In appreciation of all her efforts, the Anti-Defamation League 
will pay tribute to Ms. Clark on Sunday, November 18, 2001 by honoring 
her with the ``Distinguished Community Service Award''.
  Before moving to Santa Barbara in 1967, Ms. Clark began her career in 
public service by working for the United States government. She became 
involved in a Senate Committee's investigation of violations of 
agricultural laborer's rights in California, and later served with 
federal health, welfare and education agencies that sought to lessen 
the impact of World War II on communities throughout the United States. 
From 1943 to 1947 Ms. Clark served with the United Nations Relief and 
Rehabilitation Administration in Washington, D.C., and then contributed 
her services to the Displaced Persons Programs in the U.S. Zone of 
Germany.
  After moving to Santa Barbara, Ms. Clark immediately began 
contributing to numerous community organizations. She has served as 
president of the UN Association, as well as on

the boards of Direct Relief, Planned Parenthood, League of Women 
Voters, NAACP, UCSB Music Affiliates, the Santa Barbara Music Club, the 
Youth Symphony, and the Student Aid and Pillsbury Committees of the 
Santa Barbara Foundation. Ms. Clark has additionally found time to 
serve on the Fund for Santa Barbara's first grants committee, and 
donates her time as a Botanic Garden docent. She is also a supporter of 
the Family Service Agency, the Transition House, Girls Inc., Girl 
Scouts of Tres Condados, Casa Serena's Oliver House, and the Women's 
Economic Ventures. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine Santa Barbara 
without Carnzu Clark's presence!
  I am so pleased to be able to honor Ms. Clark, as she is truly a 
unique individual She is justly deserving of the ADL's Distinguished 
Community Service award, and I am so proud to represent a citizen of 
her caliber in Congress.
