        1998 World Championships;
Whereas Nancy Johnson's Olympic performance and shooting achievements have 
        raised the level of awareness and appreciation for women's sports 
        throughout the United States and the world;
Whereas Nancy Johnson's gold-medal-winning performance epitomizes the goals and 
        ideals of the Olympics, which include a commitment to excellence, grace 
        under pressure, and good will toward fellow competitors; and
Whereas Nancy Johnson has honored the Nation through her dedication to 
        excellence and high achievement: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates Nancy Johnson on capturing the first gold
