  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, it is always a privilege for me to rise 
and acknowledge outstanding Tennesseans. Today I ask my colleagues to 
join me in thanking Nancy Sanders Peterson, the president and CEO of 
Peterson Tool Co. Inc., for her contribution to our community in 
Tennessee.
  Nancy has been recognized many times for her business success and she 
was recently inducted into the YWCA's Academy for Women of Achievement. 
This distinction honors women for their community leadership and Nancy 
is a wonderful addition.
  She is a dedicated volunteer who has contributed her time and talents 
as a mentor for young women. Whether teaching money-management skills 
to Girl Scouts or speaking on university campuses, Peterson is a 
wonderful role model. And Nancy has counseled fellow female 
entrepreneurs on how to expand their businesses.
  Congratulations and many thanks to Nancy Peterson for her unlimited 
energy and enthusiasm and her service to so many young women.
