                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 28, 2007

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Linda 
Cunningham as the Fort Worth/Tarrant County Minority Leaders and 
Citizens Council Outstanding Woman of the Year.
  In light of Women's History Month, Dr. Cunningham will be honored at 
a reception in Fort Worth for her many accomplishments and selfless 
dedication to the Health Science Center at the University of North 
Texas. She will also be presenting the Hattitude: Hats Off to Women 
2007 keynote address, A Mile in Her Shoes, at the Fort Worth Central 
Library Theatre. As the adjunct assistant professor of pathology and 
anatomy, her intelligence and devotion to the field of science and 
medicine has proven her to be an outstanding professor and mentor.
  Hattitude began in 2001 as a Fort Worth Public Library event and has 
grown into a citywide celebration every March in honor of Women's 
History Month. The mission of Hattitude is ``to celebrate Women's 
History Month with a tip of the hat to women for all the roles they 
play, their accomplishments, and their invincible spirit,'' and I am 
very pleased that Dr. Cunningham will be recognized at this event for 
her community leadership and service.
  As a University of North Texas alumnus, it is with great honor that I 
am able to congratulate Dr. Linda Cunningham on her exceptional honor 
as Outstanding Women of the Year. She is an inspiration and a role 
model to many, and I am proud to represent her in Congress.
