selfless dedication to the Health Science Center at the University of 
North Texas. She will also be presenting the Hattitude: Hats Off to 
Women 2007 keynote address, A Mile in Her Shoes, at the Fort Worth 
Central Library Theatre. As the adjunct assistant professor of 
pathology and anatomy, her intelligence and devotion to the field of 
science and medicine has proven her to be an outstanding professor and 
mentor.
  Hattitude began in 2001 as a Fort Worth Public Library event and has 
grown into a citywide celebration every March in honor of Women's 
History Month. The mission of Hattitude is ``to celebrate Women's 
History Month with a tip of the hat to women for all the roles they 
play, their accomplishments, and their invincible spirit,'' and I am 
very pleased that Dr. Cunningham will be recognized at this event for 
her community leadership and service.
  As a University of North Texas alumnus, it is with great honor that I 
am able to congratulate Dr. Linda Cunningham on her exceptional honor 
as Outstanding Women of the Year. She is an inspiration and a role 
model to many, and I am proud to represent her in Congress.
