                        TRIBUTE TO LEE MARSHALL

                                 ______
                                 

                    HON. ROBERT E. (BUD) CRAMER, JR.

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 2, 2004

  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Lee Marshall on 
the release of her debut album, ``Anchored.'' The National Children's 
Advocacy Center, located in Huntsville, hosted Lee's CD release party 
on Friday, February 27, 2004.
  Mr. Speaker, Lee Marshall is a celebrated news anchor for WAFF NBC 48 
in Huntsville. In addition to her role as the lead morning and noon 
news anchor, Lee is the host of a weekly segment on WAFF called ``Kids 
to Love.'' On every episode of ``Kids to Love,'' she highlights one of 
the five thousand kids that are in foster care and the five hundred 
that are waiting to be adopted in the State of Alabama. Every show is 
close to her heart because Lee herself was adopted. Lee is a shining 
example of what the love of a permanent family can do for a child's 
future success.
  Lee also volunteers countless hours working with the American Cancer 
Society and the National Children's Advocacy Center. She is a strong 
supporter of the NCAC model and has lent her name to help educate 
others and raise awareness of the severity of child abuse.
  Mr. Speaker, all of us in North Alabama are proud of Lee and the work 
that she has done for our area. I have admired her energy, compassion, 
and commitment to the community and on behalf of every one in North 
Alabama, I wish her the best of luck with her debut album.
