  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Nancy J. Reed of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Nancy is active in the 
community and she has been chosen to receive the YWCA Women of 
Excellence Award for Woman in Volunteerism.
  Nancy is a truly outstanding individual and has been a volunteer and 
leader extraordinaire her entire life. She is respected for her 
leadership and passion for doing what is right for mankind. She broke 
ground in 1964 as a savvy political wife helping elect her husband to 
the Missouri House. She then participated in city, county, state and 
national elections. She was elected to the SJSD school board in 1976 
and was president in 1980-1982. She served at a difficult time, closing 
four schools--including her own children's school. She has served for 
United Way, InterServ, the Planning and Zoning Committee, and the 
Francis Street United Methodist Church.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Nancy J. 
Reed. She has made an amazing impact on countless individuals in the 
St. Joseph Community. I am honored to represent her in the United 
States Congress.
