RECOGNIZING TEXAS WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY AND THE TEXAS WOMEN'S HALL OF FAME 
                        EXHIBIT IN HUBBARD HALL

  (Mr. BURGESS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Texas Women's 
University and Chancellor Ann Stuart on the grand opening of the Texas 
Women's Hall of Fame exhibit in Hubbard Hall in Denton, Texas.
  The Texas Governor's Commission for Women created the Texas Women's 
Hall of Fame in 1984 to honor the State's most outstanding women. The 
Hall of Fame recognizes Texas women who have obtained significant 
personal or professional achievements, including former first ladies, 
teachers, athletes and astronauts.
  There have been 114 women inducted into the Hall of Fame and this 
exhibit will honor these outstanding ladies and their extraordinary 
accomplishments. Photographs and biographies of the inductees line the 
walls of Texas Women's Hall of Fame to inspire future generations in 
this prestigious group.
  One of the original inductees is Dr. Mary Evelyn Blagg Huey, my 
former neighbor and former Texas Women's University president and the 
second woman to become president of a State university in Texas. This 
year's inductees were: Ann Williams, Texas Women's University regent 
and founder of the Dallas Black Dance Theater; Johnnie Marie Benson, a 
health care advocate; Karen Hughes, advisor to George W. Bush; and 
Sister Angela Murdaugh.
  Please join me in congratulating Dr. Ann Stuart and this year's 
inductees for their service to the community and to the fine State of 
Texas.
