                        Thursday, April 22, 2004

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I stand here 
today and honor an individual that has been dedicated to her community 
for over 50 years. Selma F. Bartlett has been a resident of Henderson 
Nevada since 1954, when she began working as a banker. In 1958 Selma 
became one of Nevada's first female bank officers, in which she served 
in many capacities.
  Selma Bartlett has given of her time freely and without reserve to 
the many business and civic organizations surrounding her in Southern 
Nevada. She has helped Henderson, Nevada to become what it is today 
through her service and dedication to the people there. Through 
continually striving for the progress, success, and growth of Henderson 
through her support of educational needs within the community, she has 
been able to win many friends and the respect that only those like her 
can achieve. Her example will be a lasting one in which all will be 
able to look to for the future. Children will have the opportunity to 
attend a school named after Selma in which her example will be a 
lasting impression upon those that attend the school.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Selma Bartlett on her successes and on 
her dedication to her fellow neighbors and colleagues. I know that she 
will continue to give to those in her community and I sincerely hope 
that those around her will see her as an example and learn from her 
teachings.
