                  TRIBUTE TO ELIZABETH BROWN CALLETON

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ADAM B. SCHIFF

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, February 7, 2002

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an outstanding citizen 
of California's 27th Congressional District, Ms. Elizabeth Brown 
Calleton. Ms. Calleton has served as the President and CEO of Planned 
Parenthood of Pasadena for nearly twenty-two years and has been a 
positive force in this Congressional District for much longer.
  Ms. Calleton began her journey with Planned Parenthood of Pasadena as 
an Administrative Assistant in 1972 after having received her 
undergraduate degree in government from Smith College and her masters 
degree in public law and government from Columbia University in 1962. 
She quickly rose to the position of Associate Director in 1974 and 
shortly thereafter in 1979 became the Executive Director or what is 
today known as the President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Pasadena.
  Her commitment to enhancing the lives of women in our community has 
never wavered. Over the last thirty years she has served on no less 
than seven boards and committees which are devoted to improving the 
status of women in the 27th Congressional District and throughout our 
nation. As the President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Pasadena she 
has dedicated herself to ensuring that women have accessible family 
planning options and she has worked tirelessly to position women's 
health issues at the top of our national agenda.
  I know I am not alone when I say that the women of California's 27th 
Congressional District could not find a stronger and more loyal ally 
than Elizabeth Brown Calleton. So I ask all Members to join me in 
wishing congratulations to Ms. Calleton for her unending service to our 
community. I am sure that each person positively affected by Ms. 
Calleton's service will join me in wishing her much joy in the years to 
come and thank her for her time, her energy, and her efforts.
