    RECOGNITION OF MISSOURI STATE REPRESENTATIVE LINDA BARTELSMEYER

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 
contributions Missouri State Representative Linda Bartelsmeyer has made 
to her community, State and nation.
  Missouri State Representative Linda Bartelsmeyer is a native of 
Southwest Missouri and is serving her fourth term in the Missouri 
Legislature representing Barry, Lawrence and Newton counties. This 
year, during the annual conference, she will have the distinct honor of 
becoming President for the 2001-2002 National Organization for Women 
Legislators. The National Order of Women Legislators is the oldest and 
largest bipartisan organization of its kind, created in part to kindle 
and promote a spirit of helpfulness among present and former women 
State legislators. Missouri State Representative Linda Bartelsmeyer has 
devoted her life to public service by actively serving on the local, 
State and national levels for 27 years. She has led by example and 
proved be an outstanding citizen. I am privileged to call on the United 
States Senate to recognize her outstanding accomplishments.
