                      Thursday, September 17, 2009

  Mr. McNERNEY. Madam Speaker, I am proud to recognize police 
specialist Lisa Campbell of San Ramon for acting on her intuition and 
training to jumpstart the series of events that unraveled an 18-year-
old case and reunited a long-separated family. Ms. Campbell and her 
colleague Officer Allison Jacobs were able to make our community safer 
and save an innocent mother and her two young children from horrific 
circumstances.
  As a child of only 11, Jaycee Dugard was kidnapped on her way to 
school. For 18 years, she suffered terribly and was denied contact with 
her loved ones and the outside world. Had it not been for Ms. 
Campbell's realization that something was awry with the man requesting 
a permit to hold an event on the UC Berkeley campus, the abuse of 
Jaycee and her daughters would not have stopped.
  Lisa Campbell's and Allison Jacobs' quick action and good instincts 
prevented innocent people from experiencing further harm, led to the 
arrest of a dangerous person, and reunited a family tragically 
separated for almost two decades. I am honored to represent Ms. 
Campbell, and I am grateful for her dedicated public service.
