                         RECOGNIZING AMY WORTH

  (Mr. DeSAULNIER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service of 
Amy Worth, a wonderful constituent and friend.
  It has been my pleasure to have worked alongside Amy through her many 
contributions to the bay area and her community. From library 
commissioner to city council member to mayor to chair of the Bay Area 
Metropolitan Transportation Commission, Amy has selflessly served the 
city of Orinda and the bay area for the last 24 years and has served as 
mayor of Orinda for 5 years.
  As a member of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority, her 
leadership was critical in a major transportation improvement, the 
expansion of the Caldecott Tunnel in the east bay, which improved 
traffic congestion throughout the bay area. She also helped pass 
Measure J, a transportation sales tax.
  Her passion and commitment to her family and community are 
extraordinary. Amy has always been a dear friend and a tenacious force 
for good in our community and in my life.
  Please join me in congratulating Amy on her well-deserved retirement 
and honoring her for her many years of dedicated public service to her 
community.
