                 HONORING AND RECOGNIZING DOROTHY SCOTT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEVE ISRAEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 13, 2004

  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, on November 7, 2003, I came to the House 
floor to honor and recognize servicewomen who served as Women Airforce 
Service Pilots (WASP) during the Second World War.
  It is not an exaggeration that we owe a big part of the freedom we 
enjoy today to these women pilots. Their love of country and love of 
flying is something for which we will always be grateful.
  Unfortunately, when I gave thanks to the thirty-eight WASPs who gave 
their lives in service to their country, I unintentionally failed to 
include the name of Dorothy Scott. Like the others, her courage is an 
inspiration for all Americans.
  The complete list should read as follows: Jane Champlin, Susan Clark, 
Margie L. Davis, Katherine Dussaq, Marjorie D. Edwards, Elizabeth 
Erickson. Cornelia Fort, Frances Grimes, Mary Hartson, Mary H. Howson, 
Edith Keene, Kathryn B. Lawrence, Hazel Ying Lee, Paula Loop, Alice 
Lovejoy, Lea Ola McDonald, Peggy Martin, Marie N. Michell, Virginia 
Moffatt, Beverly Moses, Dorothy Nichols, Jeanne L. Norbeck, Margaret 
Oldenburg, Mabel Rawlinson, Gleanna Roberts, Betty Scott, Dorothy 
Scott, Margaret J. Seip, Helen J. Severson, Marie Sharon, Evelyn Sharp, 
Betty P. Stine, Marion Toevs, Gertrude Tompkins, Mary Trebing, Bonnie 
Jean Welz, Betty T. Wood, and Mary L. Webster.
