                   RECOGNIZING KIMBERLY JOHNSON-SMITH

 Mr. ALLEN. Mr. President, I today recognize Kimberly Johnson-
Smith for her community service and leadership. For over 16 years, Mrs. 
Johnson-Smith has selflessly lent her time and talents on behalf of 
various civic groups in Arlington County.
  In addition to being a member of the Arlington County Civic 
Federation, Kimberly Johnson-Smith has held various leadership 
positions in the County, including: chairperson of the Executive 
Committee, co-chair of the Public Safety Committee, and co-chair of the 
911 Scholarship Fund, which raised over $150,000 dollars for college-
bound children of Arlington County public safety personnel. Mrs. 
Johnson-Smith was also a member of the Arlington Citizen Corps Council 
where she was the Chairperson for the Public Education for Emergency 
Preparedness task group as well as the planner and advisor for 
Arlington Prepares Door-to-Door. In addition, she was a founding 
member, advisor and scheduler of Arlington County Community Emergency 
Response Team.
  Mrs. Johnson-Smith also spent time at the Arlington Animal Welfare 
League and helped establish Puppy Parties for Arlington Dogs. She was a 
member and past board member of the Arlington Outdoor Education 
Association and also involved herself in the Sheriff's Department and 
Crime Prevention Council's ``SOS'' program for seniors.
  Among her professional recognitions, Kimberly Johnson-Smith was the 
recipient of the Journal Cup for Civic Activity and the President's 
Award for Civic Acts.
  Arlington County will surely miss the great leadership and talents 
that Kimberly Johnson-Smith displayed in all of her activities. I 
congratulate her on her community service and wish her and her family 
well in their move to Madison County.
