     HONORING DODIE DITTMER OF THE COMMUNICATION WORKERS OF AMERICA

  (Mr. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor my friend Dodie 
Dittmer of the Communication Workers of America for her 43 years of 
service. She started at Ohio Bell in Dayton back in 1963.
  Dodie Dittmer has always been there for workers and, in the great 
tradition of the labor movement, always been there for her community. 
She was always a good soldier, a private in her humility as she was 
willing to pitch in on every task and a general in her leadership. She 
was always a good soldier in the battle for social and economic 
justice. For that, we are all thankful to Dodie Dittmer.
