                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 10, 2013

  Mr. ELLISON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Ms. Sandy Colvin 
Roy for her many years of public service to the citizens of the Twelfth 
Ward of Minneapolis and to congratulate her on her receipt of an award 
of Lifetime Achievement from the National Organization to Insure a 
Sound-controlled Environment (NOISE).
  Ms. Colvin Roy has represented the Twelfth Ward of Minneapolis on the 
Minneapolis City Council for the last 16 years. As a member of the 
council, Ms. Colvin Roy has been a vocal advocate for the health and 
well-being of communities located near airports and other noise-
polluted transportation centers. While Ms. Colvin Roy has spearheaded 
efforts at the federal level to reduce the impact of aviation noise, 
she has also led local efforts to protect funds that support the 
abatement of aviation noise pollution.
  The National Organization to Insure a Sound-controlled Environment 
seeks to honor elected officials who have firmly supported their 
constituents' concerns regarding noise impacts. They have chosen Ms. 
Colvin Roy to receive their Award of Lifetime Achievement for her 
steadfast commitment to the reduction of aviation noise in the Twelfth 
Ward of Minneapolis.
  I congratulate Ms. Sandy Colvin Roy on her Lifetime Achievement Award 
and thank her for her dedication and service to the citizens of the 
Twelfth Ward, the City of Minneapolis and the great state of Minnesota.
