                      TRIBUTE TO HELYSE S. TURNER

 Mr. HELLER. Madam President, today I wish to recognize a 
dedicated public servant from my home State of Nevada, Helyse Turner. 
For the past several years, Ms. Turner has served as the Business and 
Community Liaison with the Sierra Nevada Job Corps Center. In this 
capacity, she has contributed to an organization whose mission is to 
assist young Nevadans obtain the skills they need to become successful 
professionals. She has worked closely with my Reno office and has been 
a resource to them as they work to meet the needs of my constituents.
  Ms. Turner has an impressive record of public service in both the 
non-profit and government sectors. In addition to her community service 
while at the Sierra Nevada Job Corps Center, she has assisted the needy 
by working with the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, and she has helped to 
responsibly manage Nevada's vast public lands while serving with the 
Bureau of Land Management. She also volunteers on a number of local 
civic boards, including the local Chamber of Commerce Ambassador 
program and the Sierra Nevada Chapter of the Public Relations Society 
of America.
  Ms. Turner exemplifies the values of philanthropy and community 
service, and in so doing she has had a profound impact on many 
Nevadans. I and my staff deeply appreciate her dedicated efforts and 
her years of service, and I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing her 
the best of luck as she begins a new chapter with Utah's Clearfield Job 
Corps Center. She will be greatly missed in the Silver State.
