                      RECOGNIZING MAGGIE SCARLETT

  (Ms. CHENEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. CHENEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Maggie 
Scarlett of Wilson, Wyoming, who has been awarded an honorary doctorate 
from the University of Wyoming.
  This is the highest award the university confers. Maggie's tireless 
work on behalf of our great State warrants this well-deserved honor.
  Maggie was awarded this honorary doctorate of humane letters for her 
lifetime of work creating and expanding museum and library collections. 
Throughout her life, Maggie has given so much back to our great State 
and our citizens, and she has demonstrated a lifelong commitment to the 
importance of museums and libraries in preserving our heritage and our 
history.
  She served as a public school teacher in communities across Wyoming 
and brought educational opportunities, including in the field of speech 
language pathology, to rural Wyoming.
  Maggie was 1 of 10 founding trustees of the National Museum of 
Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming, and she was instrumental in securing 
its recognition as the National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United 
States.
  She also serves on the board of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West 
in her hometown of Cody, Wyoming, and she earned an appointment by 
President George W. Bush to serve on the board of the Institute of 
Museum and Library Services.
  Mr. Speaker, Maggie Scarlett is a true inspiration and has set an 
example for her children, her seven grandchildren, her friends, and 
people all across our State and Nation. I am extremely grateful for her 
contributions, and I am blessed to call her my friend.
  Maggie and her family deserve to be extremely proud of her work and 
of this honor.
