                        Wednesday, June 16, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Betty Clifton of Fowler, Colorado, on being named the 2004 
Etu Tau Lady of the Year. The award acknowledges her contributions 
towards the Fowler community, and to the many other communities that 
she has been a part of through the years. This award is a well-deserved 
testament to her tireless efforts.
  Betty's ardent devotion to her community was evident at a young age, 
as she was a member of the Rainbow Girls and served as president of the 
Methodist Youth Fellowship during her senior year in high school. This 
commitment continued to follow Betty as an adult as she became involved 
in other civic organizations. She is a charter member of Fountain 
Valley #155 of the Order of the Eastern Star Foundation, a member of 
the Fowler Historical Society, and a member of the American Legion 
Auxiliary. She also volunteers with Meals on Wheels, served for five 
years as president of the United Methodist Women, and served for two 
years as president of the Fowler Senior Citizens.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to the public service of 
Betty Clifton before this body of Congress, and this nation. Her 
contributions towards her community are truly remarkable. I sincerely 
thank Betty for her service.
