SHIRLEY was first elected to this body in 1968. and won assignment to the Education and Labor Committee in 1971. Here. her efforts in the areas of compensatory education. minimum wage laws. and the comprehensive causes of the poor and the minorities won her deserved acclaim and recognition. In addition. her efforts on behalf of the American Indians and the Haitian refugees have firmly established her commitment to those less fortunate. In February of this year. SHIRLEY announced her intention to retire at the end of this Congress. citing as one of the major reasons the frustration of attempting to effectively serve her constituents while a conservative government is in office.
