  Ms. SOLIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Elizabeth Brown 
Calleton for her forty years of contributions to women's health care 
and family planning in the San Gabriel Valley community.
  Ms. Elizabeth Brown Calleton graduated from Smith College in 1956 
with a Bachelors degree in government. She continued her education and 
received a Masters degree in 1962 from Columbia University in Public 
Law and Government. A decade later, Ms. Calleton began her professional 
career as an Administrative Assistant in Planned Parenthood in 
Pasadena, California and in 1974 she became Associate Director. She has 
been the Executive Director since 1979.
  In addition to her commitment to Planned Parenthood, Ms. Brown 
Calleton was past President of League of Women Voters of the Pasadena 
area chapter and has served on the board of Young and Healthy, Women At 
Work, and Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California.
  Her contributions have been recognized by many including the Women of 
Achievement, Magna Carta Business and Professional Women, and the 
Pasadena-Foothill YWCA.
  Although Ms. Calleton worked hard to make significant inroads on the 
area of women's health care, she was also able to be a great mother and 
grandmother to her three children and her four grandchildren.
  Today I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring this remarkable 
woman for her contributions in the area of women's health care to the 
San Gabriel Valley community.
