                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DARRELL E. ISSA

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 15, 2010

  Mr. ISSA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the honorable 
civil service of Claire Harrison for her twenty-nine years of service 
with the Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) of California.
  Joining the water district team in 1981, Ms. Harrison has been 
instrumental in working on critical projects for EMWD. She spent the 
last twelve years of her career in Legislative Affairs where she 
successfully managed that department and the federal legislative 
program. As a result, her leadership and direction secured federal 
support for desalination and recycled water infrastructure that 
dramatically improved the water supply reliability for southwestern 
Riverside County.
  Ms. Harrison embodies EMWD's mission and values of providing superior 
services to the community in an effective, proficient manner. As a 
leader in water management, she has made a remarkable impression on the 
community EMWD serves.
  Having worked with Ms. Harrison on water needs for the 49th District 
of California, she is a true professional that deserved recognition for 
her nearly three decades of invaluable contributions to the water 
industry.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to please join me paying tribute to Ms. 
Harrison's dedicated and loyal service to the Eastern Municipal Water 
District.
