         REQUESTING A NAVAL ROTC PROGRAM AT UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 17, 2007

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this 
opportunity to express my strong support for a Naval Reserve Officer 
Training Corps program at the University of Miami. The students at this 
prestigious university deserve the opportunity to engage in this 
tremendous program. Located in South Florida the university provides an 
ideal location to offer a quality program that can utilize many of the 
resources that are within close proximity. The success of Army and Air 
Force ROTC programs at the university are clear indicators of the 
interest and dedication the students have to serving our country in the 
Armed Services. A program at the University of Miami would be an 
incredible addition to the proud tradition of the Naval Reserve Officer 
Training Program, and so I request that my colleagues support this 
amendment.
