  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor my good friend Judy 
Reich for her efforts on behalf of the community.
  For years, Judy has been working to educate and enrich the lives of 
the people of Southern Nevada. In her capacity as Program Director and 
Community Affairs Director of KVBC, Channel 3, Las Vegas; Judy has been 
instrumental in the production of programs such as ``Action Seniors,'' 
``Youth!'' and directed Channel 3's Back to School Fair. Judy also 
established and coordinated Channel 3's Christmas Angel Tree Program 
and produced a number of Public Service Announcements.
  In addition to her work at Channel 3, Judy has been very active in a 
number of community outreach, and philanthropic programs. Judy has 
served on the Marketing Committee and the Board of Directors of the Las 
Vegas Natural History Museum as well as on the Board of Directors of 
the After School All Starts Program. In addition, the Kids to Kids 
program and Desert Pines Middle School have all had the benefit of her 
leadership.
  Among her many passions is her work with a number of public health 
awareness programs. For several of years, Judy has worked with the 
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, where she has served on the 
Board of Directors, the Government Relations Committee, and as a 
volunteer lobbyist. Judy has also advocated for public health and 
awareness through her work with the American Heart Association.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor my friend Judy Reich. Her efforts 
on behalf of the Southern Nevada community have enriched countless 
lives and should be applauded. I thank her for her dedication and 
commitment and wish her the best in her future endeavors.
