  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, Julie Nauman had dedicated her life to 
improving the lives of victims. Julie has been a tireless advocate for

Board has led

vital victim compensation in California. Julie has strived to help 
crime victims sort through complicated legal matters and help them cope 
with the financial aftermath of the crimes in which they were involved. 
Julie has also been committed to conducting multi-lingual victim 
outreach and public awareness efforts to reach crime survivors in 
California.
  After the mass shooting in Las Vegas in October of 2017, it was no 
surprise, Julie was right ready to help. With her assistance, along 
with the CCCB, they were able to reach across state lines to provide 
information, assistance and guidance regarding victim compensation to 
hundreds of survivors who call California home.
  When there was a mass shooting in April of 2017 in Fresno County, 
Julie personally helped to provide compensation funding for funerals 
for the murdered victims. She also aided the Fresno Police Department 
providing resources to better fund future victim assistance services 
for Fresno County.
  As a past member of the Board of Directors and a current member of 
the National Association of Crime Victim Compensation Board, Julie has 
vocalized the need to ensure violent crime victims are aware of the 
financial support and services available to them.
  Julie's persistent support of crime victims is unparalleled. Julie is 
a superb leader and a truly compassionate person, who is committed to 
improving the lives of crime victims everywhere.
  Each year the Congressional Victims' Rights Caucus honors outstanding 
individuals and organizations for their tireless efforts supporting and 
empowering survivors of crime. Co-chaired and co-founded by Jim Costa 
(D-CA) and myself, the bipartisan caucus advocates for crime victims 
and protects programs that provide critical support for related 
services.
  I am proud to announce Julie Nauman as the recipient of the 
Congressional Victims' Rights Caucus the Suzanne McDaniel Memorial 
Award for Public Awareness. The Public Awareness Award is in memory of 
Susanne McDaniel, one of the first prosecutor-based victim advocates in 
Texas and the nation. There is no doubt, Julie has used her voice to 
promote and to bring about change at the National level for crime 
victims.
  And that's just the way it is.
