Mr. Speaker. I rise today to honor a wonderful American and long time civil servantHelen Salaman. An immigrant from Hungary. Helen arrived in the United States in 1921. As many immigrants. Helen sought a better life and acted on this desire by becoming the first female graduate of her law school class at the University of Detroit Law School. Soon after graduating from law school. Helen became a fulltime mother which prevented her from pursuing a legal career. However. being a mother did not prevent her from being active in other avenues. Not only did Helen steep herself in her sons schooling and extracurricular activities. but she became deeply involved in the Democratic Party.
