                     RECOGNIZING MS. DIANE BROWNING

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. THADDEUS G. McCOTTER

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 20, 2004

  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, I request the House of Representatives 
join me in recognizing Ms. Diane Browning, who has been chosen the 
Women of Westland's 2004 Woman of the Year.
  Ms. Browning's dedication to Westland led her to serve as the Women 
of Westland's Secretary this past year, in which role she has 
participated in every event the group has sponsored--the Relay of Life, 
a 24-hour charitable walk for the American Cancer Society to promote 
cancer research; the Respite Relief program to provide for children; 
countless scholarship programs to promote educational opportunities; 
and, of course, her long standing devotion to the Huron Valley Girl 
Scouts.
  Honest, intelligent, and intensely involved in the life of her city, 
Ms. Browning truly represents the transcendent spirit of Westland. Her 
daughter, Gretchen, and her parents, Bud and Virginia Hassett, are 
rightfully proud of Diane's undeniable mark on the community; and we 
are all admiring of and appreciative for her inspired leadership on 
behalf of our community and our country.
