                     Wednesday, September 17, 2008

  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Carlos 
Boozer, Corey Cogdell, and Matt Emmons, three Alaskans who recently 
returned from competing in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. 
These three Alaskans, joined by their fellow athletes from across the 
country, traveled to Beijing, and represented the United States in an 
extraordinary manner. The U.S. Olympic team distinguished the United 
States from other nations by winning 110 medals, the most of any 
country. Carlos Boozer, Corey Cogdell, and Matt Emmons each won medals, 
and boldly represented the United States in their specific 
competitions.
  I truly believe that the importance of the contributions of these 
three talented Alaskan athletes to our country cannot be overstated, 
which is why it is important that we honor their great accomplishments. 
For this reason I am introducing the following resolution to honor 
these three athletes for their accomplishments and representation of 
our country.
