  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Leah M. Varnell who has received the Golden Ethics in Business award. 
Leah Varnell is the executive director of Court Appointed Special 
Advocates of Jefferson and Gilpin Counties and received this award 
because of her vision, bravery, and sense of social responsibility to 
those children who face the worst of all situations.
  The dedication demonstrated by Leah Varnell directly benefits her 
community, and is exemplary of high personal and professional 
standards. She serves as a leader who inspires those around her to 
continually strive for a safer environment for America's children.
  I extend my deepest congratulations once again to Leah Varnell for 
winning the Golden Ethics in Business award. I have no doubt she will 
continue to exhibit the same dedication she has shown in her career to 
all future undertakings.
