  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize Ms. Barbara 
Heller on the occasion of her retirement from the San Rafael City 
Council. Ms. Heller's two decades of service on the San Rafael City 
Council have been marked by her dedication to improving the quality of 
life for those who live and work in the City of San Rafael.
   Ms. Heller's commitment to San Rafael and the wider Marin community 
has been characterized by her leadership on a wide array of groups, as 
President of the Marin County Council of Mayors and Councilmembers, 
President of the Marin Transit Board of Directors, the San Rafael 
Planning Commission, the San Rafael Sanitation District, and many other 
committees.
   Throughout her service, Barbara demonstrated a fundamental and deep 
understanding of the many ways in which the entire San Rafael community 
would benefit from vibrant, civic-minded economic development. She has 
set a prime example of caring, insightful, and pragmatic governance 
focused on the people whom she served.
   Please join me in expressing deep appreciation to Ms. Barbara Heller 
for her long and impressive career, and her exceptional record of 
service.
