                    CONGRATULATIONS TO PICABO STREET

  (Mr. CRAPO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CRAPO. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor today to extend 
congratulations to Picabo Street, the silver medalist winner in the 
women's downhill. Picabo comes from Triumph, ID, which is close to some 
of Idaho's greatest skiing in the Sun Valley area. She has shown the 
strength of will and the perseverance that it takes to become a silver 
medalist, announcing 10 years ago to her family that she was going to 
compete in the Olympics.
  Her success has made her a good role model for many young people who 
aspire to compete in the Olympics.
  On a personal note, I hope that maybe she can help me and my kids 
learn a little bit better how to get down those slopes in Sun Valley.
  Picabo has brought honor to Idaho and America and deserves our hearty 
congratulations.
