                                 ______
                                 

                 TRIBUTE TO CAROLYN E. ``BETSY'' FLYNN

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I pay tribute to Carolyn E. 
``Betsy'' Flynn of Benton, KY, for her recent appointment to the 
Federal Reserve Board's Consumer Advisory Council.
  Mrs. Flynn currently serves as president and vice chairman of 
Community Financial Services Bank in Benton, KY, which manages around 
$400 million in assets. This institution has served the Benton 
community for almost 120 years and Mrs. Flynn has contributed to its 
success since 1976. For 24 years, Betsy Flynn has also instructed at 
the Barret School of Banking in Memphis, TN. Her public service record 
is extensive as well. She has served on several economic development 
boards, the city council, the chamber of commerce, the tourist 
commission, and has recently been appointed to the Kentucky Investment 
Commission.
  The Consumer Advisory Council serves a vital role in advising the 
Federal Reserve Board on guidelines under the Consumer Credit 
Protection Act and issues regarding consumer financial services. Mrs. 
Flynn's impressive resume provides a solid foundation for her new role 
on the council. Her expertise in the banking and financial industry 
will serve her and the advisory council well.
  I now ask my fellow colleagues to join me in congratulating Mrs. 
Flynn for her remarkable achievement. Kentucky and the entire country 
should be proud to have such a distinguished individual serving 
them.
