                        Thursday, March 5, 1998

  Mr. TIERNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
the accomplishments of my constituent, Ms. Sandra Whyte of Saugus, 
Massachusetts. She was a member of the Women's Olympic Hockey Team that 
captured the gold medal at the XVIII Olympic games in Nagano, Japan. 
Not only was she a member of a victorious team, but she will also go 
down in history as a member of the first United States Women's Hockey 
Team ever to compete at the Winter games.
  Sandra was a member of the team, and a prominent one at that. At her 
forward position she scored two goals and acquired numerous assists 
during the course of the Olympics; these helped carry the team to the 
gold medal against Canada. Her playing ability as well as her 
sportsmanship throughout the games should be commended. Mr. Speaker, 
Massachusetts' Sixth District is proud to honor Sandra in her pursuits 
of excellence and in her representation not only of the district, but 
of the United States as well.
