                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 18, 2005

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to commemorate the 
50th anniversary of the Dallas County Council of Republican Women's 
Clubs. Fifty years ago, 17 Republican Women's groups joined to form an 
alliance, based on the guiding principle of the National Federation of 
Republican Women, ``to foster and encourage loyalty to the Republican 
Party and the ideals for which it stands.''
  For the past fifty years, the Dallas County Council of Republican 
Women have worked together to support Republican Women's groups in the 
area as they promote the principles of the Grand Old Party and help 
elect Republican leaders from the Courthouse to the White House. The 
Dallas County Council of Republican Women continue to serve Republican 
Women's Clubs through meetings, a council newsletter, and training 
seminars.
  Today, I would like to honor the Dallas County Council of Republican 
Women and their leaders, including: Pat Jordan (1955), Eleanor Owens 
(1956), Tilla Lindsey (1956), Mary Jester (1957), Dorothy Cameron 
(1959), Bobbie Biggert (1960), Glenna McCord (1960, 1961, 1962), Babs 
Johnson (1963, 1964), Linda Holloway (1965), Ann Good (1965), Alice 
Hale (1966), Jonita Hilton, (1967), Ann Nicholson (1968, 1969), Peeps 
Moffett (1970), Jan Bryant (1970), Iris Snell (1971, 1972), Dottie 
Beckham (1972, 1973, 1974), Barbara Staff (1975), Ruth Potter (1976, 
1977), Ginny Bauman (1978), Shirley Dickinson (1979, 1980), Jean 
Rheudasil (1981, 1982), Marianna Ziegler (1983, 1984), Jan Patterson 
(1985, 1986), Edith Schuler (1987), Lynne Tweedell (1989), Alma Box 
(1991, 1992), Betty Doke (1993, 1994), Sandy Melton Stephens (1995, 
1996), Sue Hutchins (1997, 1998), Rosella Hutchinson (1999, 2000), 
Taffy Goldsmith (2001, 2002), Valerie E. Ertz (2003, 2004), Deborah 
Brown (2005). These strong Republican women embody the energy, vision 
and values of our party.
