                          EXTENSIONS OF REMARKS

                     TRIBUTE TO ALBERTA STONECIPHER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 19, 2000

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to recognize 
Alberta Stonecipher of Bethalto, IL. Mrs. Stonecipher is the mother of 
nine children, and has eleven grandchildren and six great-
grandchildren. She has made it her responsibility to be an active 
participant in the Madison County Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk 
Driving (MADD).
  Despite the fact that Mrs. Stonecipher has not lost one of her own to 
a drunk driver, she asked her children for Mother's Day to donate their 
money to MADD instead of buying her gifts. As a result, her family 
donated $125 to the fight against drunk driving.
  I want to thank Mrs. Stonecipher for finding such an important cause 
and devoting herself to it. Her dedication to helping those who have 
been a victim to drunk driving and to helping stop it is truly 
remarkable.
