                         REMEMBERING PAM CLUTE

  (Mr. TAKANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, a leader in the Riverside community, a 
fitness bug, an award-winning baker, a winner of the Presidential Award 
of Excellence, a remarkable educator, and a person who died too young 
just a few weeks ago, in her 40 years in the classroom, Pam Clute 
inspired thousands of students, many of them young women, to pursue 
careers in math and science. She founded the ALPHA Center at UC 
Riverside to get students on track to pursue STEM fields in college.
  At the same time, Pam organized local partnerships, created a fitness 
class, and shared her infectious energy with everyone around her. In 
short, she took every opportunity imaginable to support our community.
  My thoughts are with her husband, Steve, and the rest of her family. 
Pam Clute was truly an exemplary woman. She will be missed.
