                       Tuesday, January 28, 2003

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Eve W. Paul, vice 
president and general counsel of Planned Parenthood Federation of 
America. Ms. Paul is retiring after 25 years of distinguished service 
to that indispensable and life-enhancing organization.
  In her long career as an attorney, Ms. Paul has devoted herself to 
women's rights. She was on the board of the Stamford (Connecticut) 
League of Women Voters, and she was director and general counsel of the 
Connecticut Women's Bank.
  Before coming to Planned Parenthood Federation, Ms. Paul served as a 
staff attorney with the Legal Aid Society, in its Family Court Branch, 
a post that reflected her life-long commitment to the welfare of women 
and children.
  While serving Planned Parenthood, Ms. Paul headed the Legal Analysis 
Project. In that capacity she prepared a study of U.S. laws on family 
planning. She also has written extensively on reproductive health care 
issues,

including abortion, contraception, and minors' rights.
  Throughout her career Ms. Paul has been an advocate for reproductive 
freedom, and has worked on a number of landmark cases that secured for 
women the fundamental human and civil right to make their own 
childbearing choices.
  I am honored to congratulate Eve W. Paul on her retirement. Her work 
in the service of human rights has left the world a better place. We 
wish her well.
