                       Tuesday, February 14, 2012

  Ms. BASS of California. Mr. Speaker, I pay tribute to two women of 
exceptional talent and character--Ms. Pamela McGee and Ms. Paula McGee.
  Always committed to excellence, the McGee twins, as they came to be 
known, are often recognized for their accolades in women's basketball. 
At the University of Southern California they teamed up with Cheryl 
Miller and Cynthia Cooper to win two back-to-back National 
Championships in 1983 and 1984.
  Equally as impressive are the McGee sister's lives off the court 
after her life in basketball, Paula McGee pursed her life's calling to 
preach. She was also the co-founder of Christian Business Success 
Network, a nonprofit organization that specialized in training and 
providing support for Christian business leaders. After winning a Gold 
medal in the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, Pamela McGee served as 
Executive Director of the non-profit Save the Children or Perish 
(S.T.O.P.), a grassroots organization that helped her to become an 
elected official as a School Board Member in Flint, Michigan.
  Mr. Speaker, Paula and Pamela McGee are two great American role 
models who I am proud to have in my District.
