                         Tuesday, March 8, 2005

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jan Kennady for a 
lifetime of dedicated public service.
  Jan Kennady served on the New Braunfels City Council from 1993-1996, 
and as Mayor of New Braunfels from 1996-1999. Her energy and 
organizational skill were a tremendous boon to New Braunfels, and she 
was honored by the Texas State Legislature with a resolution expressing 
the State's appreciation.
  She has also worked for years as a volunteer leader and organizer, 
and has been honored with multiple awards, including 1995 Citizen of 
the Year, the Chamber of Commerce President's Award, the Women of 
Distinction Award, and the 10 Outstanding Republican Women Award. In 
1998, Governor Bush appointed her to a three-year term on the Texas 
Commission on Volunteer and Community Service. Her work on education, 
senior health, and other issues has earned her the thanks of a grateful 
community.
  Jan Kennady is a model of initiative, commitment, and talent. She has 
made her city, her State, and her party stronger by her service. Today, 
she continues to serve her fellow Texans as Comal County Commissioner. 
I am honored to have this opportunity to recognize Jan Kennady, and to 
thank her for all she has done for those people whose lives she has 
touched.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to have had this opportunity to recognize 
the many achievements of Comal County Commissioner Jan Kennady.
