                   HONORING ELIZABETH BROWN CALLETON

 Mrs. BOXER. Madam President, I would like to take a moment to 
reflect on the tremendous accomplishments of Elizabeth Brown Calleton 
during her tenure at Planned Parenthood of Pasadena.
  During the past 40 years, Ms. Calleton has made a major contribution 
to Planned Parenthood of Pasadena's 69-year history, ultimately serving 
as its President and CEO. A women's health care advocate, she 
established Planned Parenthood Community Orientation Luncheons and a 
community-wide research network to provide women with access to health 
care. Ms. Calleton served on the committee that created the North West 
Community Healthcare Alliance Program, a program geared to the needs of 
low-income, uninsured individuals. The Peer Educator Program more than 
doubled in size during Ms. Calleton's tenure.
  In addition to her extraordinary work at Planned Parenthood, Ms. 
Calleton has served with a variety of community organizations including 
the League of Women Voters, the Pasadena Commission on the Status of 
Women and Women at Work. Awards she has received from the Magna Carta 
Business and Professional Women and the Young Women's Christian 
Association are a testament to her great dedication.
  ``Celebrating the Past, Looking Towards the Future'' pays a fine 
tribute to Ms. Calleton's legacy. Ms. Calleton has much to celebrate 
and, I know, looks forward to new challenges in her future endeavors. 
Her work will serve the community for generations to come.
