  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to pay tribute to a woman 
who has dedicated so much of her time and effort to the citizens and 
organizations of the community of Santa Barbara, California, Ms. Carnzu 
Clark. In appreciation of all her efforts, the Anti-Defamation League 
will pay tribute to Ms. Clark on Sunday, November 18, 2001 by honoring 
her with the ``Distinguished Community Service Award''.
  Before moving to Santa Barbara in 1967, Ms. Clark began her career in 
public service by working for the United States government. She became 
involved in a Senate Committee's investigation of violations of 
agricultural laborer's rights in California, and later served

with federal health, welfare and education agencies that sought to 
lessen the impact of World War II on communities throughout the United 
States. From 1943 to 1947 Ms. Clark served with the United Nations 
Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in Washington, D.C., and then 
contributed her services to the Displaced Persons Programs in the U.S. 
Zone of Germany.
  After moving to Santa Barbara, Ms. Clark immediately began 
contributing to numerous community organizations. She has served as 
president of the UN Association, as well as on the boards of Direct 
Relief, Planned Parenthood, League of Women Voters, NAACP, UCSB Music 
Affiliates, the Santa Barbara Music Club, the Youth Symphony, and the 
Student Aid and Pillsbury Committees of the Santa Barbara Foundation. 
Ms. Clark has additionally found time to serve on the Fund for Santa 
Barbara's first grants committee, and donates her time as a Botanic 
Garden docent. She is also a supporter of the Family Service Agency, 
the Transition House, Girls Inc., Girl Scouts of Tres Condados, Casa 
Serena's Oliver House, and the Women's Economic Ventures. Indeed, it is 
difficult to imagine Santa Barbara without Carnzu Clark's presence!
  I am so pleased to be able to honor Ms. Clark, as she is truly a 
unique individual She is justly deserving of the ADL's Distinguished 
Community Service award, and I am so proud to represent a citizen of 
her caliber in Congress.
