                           HONORING LINDA LEY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 3, 2004

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my good friend and 
fellow Nevadan Linda Ley on her retirement from CASA, the Court 
Appointed Special Advocate for Children's office. Linda has dedicated 
her life to ensuring that the youngest and most powerless members of 
our society have someone looking out for their best interests and who 
cares that they are able to find a better life.
  During my years in the Nevada legislature I worked closely with Linda 
to develop legislation that helped foster children transition into 
adulthood, and to protect victims of abuse and neglect. I urge the 
members of this House to join with me in wishing her well in her 
retirement, and to join her in her call for more volunteers to advocate 
on behalf of children.
