                       Tuesday, February 28, 2006

  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and commend 
Ms. Kristal Koga, on being named 2006 Women in Business Champion of the 
Year by the United States Small Business Administration Guam Branch 
Office.
  Ms. Koga is an accomplished designer and owns the ``Kristal 
Kollection'' clothing line. Her hard work and keen business sense has 
made her a well known and well established businesswoman on Guam. Her 
commitment to use her vast skills and knowledge to foster and mentor 
young women pursuing careers in business is what makes her especially 
deserving of this recognition as ``Women in Business Champion.''
  Ms. Koga is serving, or has served in numerous organizations 
dedicated to improving the lives of women around the world, including 
the Soroptimist International of the Marianas, where she is a current 
member and served as the immediate past-president; the Federation of 
Asian Pacific Women's Association, where she is currently serving as 
treasurer; and the Guam Council of Women's Clubs, where she serves as 
the vice president.
  I congratulate Kristal for being selected as the 2006 Women in 
Business Champion of the Year. I join our island community in 
celebrating her distinction. Kristal, we are all proud of you and we 
wish you continued prosperity.
