  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember an Inland Empire 
resident and an excellent public servant, Lois Carson.
  Lois was a beloved member of my community and a passionate advocate 
for childcare, education, and welfare reform.
  Lois served as the president of the San Bernardino Community College 
District Board of Trustees while I served on the Riverside Community 
College District Board of Trustees. I have fond memories of working 
with her at trustee conferences where we would collaborate on improving 
the lives of Inland Empire students.
  During her 30 years as the executive director of Community Action 
Partnership of Riverside County, Lois provided services for low-income 
residents. Under her leadership the agency ran successfully and 
received the first public sector Community Action Agency award for 
excellence in 2005.
  The Inland Empire was fortunate to benefit from Lois Carson's many 
talents, and I am honored to have known her and believe that her legacy 
will live on in the many lives she touched.
