                      Wednesday, September 4, 2002

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today and ask my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives to join me in congratulating 
Norma Lee Clise of Hampshire County, West Virginia for her decades of 
service to her community. It is an honor to announce Norma Lee Clise as 
the 2002 ``Knight of Olde Hampshire.''
  Retired from the Central Telephone Company, Norma Lee Clise is a 
charter member of the Hampshire County ``Jaycee-ettes'' and active with 
the Shawnee Girl Scout Council. For 43 years, Norma Lee has served the 
American Legion Auxiliary Hampshire Unit 91 in Romney, West Virginia. 
Named Hampshire County Volunteer of the Year in 2001, Norma Lee is a 
recipient of the Ruby Ward National Public Relations Trophy and was 
also named ``Distinguished West Virginian'' in 1970. Always active in 
local issues and affairs, Norma Lee served for 25 years on the 
Hampshire County Executive Committee, acting as co-chairman, secretary-
treasurer, and Delegate to the State Convention.
  In honor of Norma Lee Clise and her longstanding commitment to public 
service, I ask my friends in Hampshire County and my colleagues here to 
join me in recognizing Norma Lee Clise.
