                      Thursday, September 6, 2007

  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Dixie Sue 
Allsbrook who has voluntarily served the National Committee of Employer 
Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESRG) for twenty years, and serving 
the past five years as the Chair of the Nevada ESGR.
  Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESRG) is a grass roots 
volunteer organization working with the Department of Defense. ESGR 
provides free education, consultation, and mediation as necessary for 
employers of Guard and Reserve employees. ESGR's goal is to support 
America's employers who share their employees with the nation to ensure 
our national security.
  In her twenty years volunteering with the ESRG, Dr. Dixie Sue 
Allsbrook has served in many different areas of the organization. She 
began in California as an Area Chair, Ombudsman, and ultimately she 
served as Executive Director there. When she moved to Nevada she 
continued to serve ESGR as an ombudsman until she was appointed as 
Chair in 2002. Her amazing work in the community extends beyond that of 
the ESGR and includes the Equal Opportunity Board of Clark County, the 
Susan B. Komen Foundation, and the Wardley Charity Foundation.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Dr. Dixie Sue Allsbrook. Her 
commitment to supporting Nevada's Guard and Reserve through her work 
with the ESRG is outstanding, and I thank her for continuing efforts.
