                        Wednesday, May 12, 2004

  Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. 
Rose Lambert for over 16 years of dedicated service to the Mount Vernon 
community.
  Ms. Lambert has been a pivotal member of the Mount Vernon community 
for many years, both as an employee of the Mount Vernon District 
Supervisor and as an active citizen in her neighborhood. Until 
recently, Rose lived in the Mount Zephyr community where she was active 
in the Citizens' Association, acting as president a number of times.
  In the Mount Vernon District Supervisor's Office, Ms. Lambert has 
played an important role in a number of high-profile issues, including 
the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Improvement Study, Richmond Highway 
Revitalization efforts, and recently, the campaign to save Mount Vernon 
Hospital.
  Ms. Lambert is most well-known in the northern areas of the Mount 
Vernon District where she has worked tirelessly on many significant 
projects. She has been instrumental in the successful completion of 
many community improvement projects, including the Huntington, Mount 
Zephyr, Fairhaven, and New Alexandria communities. Ms. Lambert 
continues to push for projects that will improve the quality of life 
for Mount Vernon citizens.
  As Hyland's Chief Aide, Ms. Lambert has been the lead point of 
contact for county staff, and has had the responsibility of attending 
the Board of Supervisors meeting in Fairfax. Furthermore, she has 
represented Supervisor Hyland at countless meetings and has played an 
active role in the Mount Vernon Council of Citizens Associations.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks 
to Ms. Lambert for 16 years of service to Mount Vernon District. Her 
contributions and efforts are much appreciated and will be greatly 
missed. Her service is an exemplary example of an ideal citizen and 
model employee. I wish her the best of luck in all future endeavors.
