  Ms. KUSTER of New Hampshire. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the life of Alice Vartanian King, a resident of New Hampshire's Second 
Congressional District who spent her life dedicated to the youth of New 
Hampshire, especially in her hometown of Rumney.
  Before settling in New Hampshire, Alice lived in the Boston area and 
fought to reform the juvenile justice standards under the Carter 
Administration. She then worked for the Massachusetts Civil Liberties 
Foundation before

moving her work to the New Hampshire ACLU and the Christa McAuliffe 
Planetarium Foundation, where she worked extensively on grants and 
fundraising, bringing a national spotlight on New Hampshire. Alice took 
great pride in her hometown of Rumney and used her grant writing skills 
to start a summer lunch program for the community's children.
  From her work at the Planetarium and the ACLU, to helping her husband 
Wayne, in his State Representative, State Senate, and Gubernatorial 
races, to ensuring that her community was well fed, Alice truly was a 
selfless public servant who embodied what it means to be a Granite 
Stater. I am proud to honor her great life, and I extend my deepest 
condolences to her family at this difficult time. Alice will never be 
forgotten and will be fondly remembered for years to come.
