                        TRIBUTE TO RUTH GRIFFIN

  (Mr. BRADLEY of New Hampshire asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BRADLEY of New Hampshire. Mr. Speaker, I rise to salute executive 
councilor Ruth Griffin, who is a native of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, 
and has been a long-time member of the executive council in New 
Hampshire as well as a dedicated public servant.
  Ruth is receiving a lifetime achievement award tonight from the City 
Awards of the United States. Her long-time recognition in New Hampshire 
is unqualified by her success. She has served as a State senator, a 
State representative on local boards and commissions. She is a friend 
of many and has always been a dedicated servant of those less 
fortunate.
  Mr. Speaker, I have had the pleasure of working with her for a number 
of years as a member of the New Hampshire legislature. I call her a 
friend and a mentor.
