  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, along 
with Congressman Barton, to recognize the birthday of Luci Baines

of the advisory boards of both the Center for Battered Women and of 
``Believe in Me'', and a life trustee of Seton Fund. After many years 
of service, we are pleased to recognize her today. On Sunday, July 2, 
2017, she will be celebrating her 70th birthday.
  Ms. Johnson has degrees from Georgetown University School of Nursing, 
the University of Texas, and St. Edward's University. Ms. Johnson has 
served as a Trustee of Boston University, is a past chairman of the 
Affiliate Fund-raising Drive for the American Heart Association, a 
former chairman of the University of Texas System School of Nursing, 
and a former member of the Board of Review of the National League of 
Nursing.
  Through our shared passion for public service, we have developed a 
close relationship that continues to grow stronger by the year. Much 
like her parents before her, she has dedicated her life to public 
service and it has been an honor to see the contributions she has made 
throughout the state of Texas.
  Throughout her life, she has constantly displayed the virtues of

she has managed to accomplish so much. Through her philanthropic 
efforts, she has been able to turn dreams into realities for so many.
  Mr. Speaker, we congratulate Luci Baines Johnson on her successes, 
and we wish her a happy 70th birthday. We wish her success as she 
continues to fight for so many people, not only in the Great State of 
Texas, but across the United States.
  Mr. Speaker, the recognition of the birthday and accomplishments of 
Luci Baines Johnson are worth acknowledging.
