  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I would like to request the 
House's attention today to pay recognition to Ms. Susan Errett Cord 
Pereira who will be turning 70 years old on May 21st. Ms. Pereira is 
both praised for her entrepreneurial spirit as well as for her 
generosity. She is a great contribution to the community.
  Ms. Pereira and her husband of 48 years, William L. Pereira, Jr., 
have a natural eye for business. Together they have started several 
businesses which include Air California, Diamond Sports, Inc., and a 
very well-known and respected Arabian horse farm.
  Besides running successful companies with her husband, Ms. Pereira 
uses her business smarts to play a large role in many charities 
including Junior League, Dunn School Board of Trustees, Reno Chamber 
Music Board of Trustees, and is a co-sponsor of the Pereira Visiting 
Writers program at University of California Irvine.
  She has five children, a passion for Arabian horses, and is a Life 
Master in bridge.
  Best wishes and Happy Birthday to Ms. Susan Errett Cord Pereira.
