                     HONORING DR. DONNA E. SHALALA

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, I rise tonight to recognize one of 
the most profound educational leaders of her generation, Dr. Donna 
Shalala.
  As the head of my alma mater, the University of Miami, Donna made it 
her goal to see UM become the next great American research university. 
Never one to leave a promise unfulfilled, under her unparalleled 
guidance, the university has consistently ranked in the top 50 research 
institutions.
  Through leadership, service, and selflessness, Donna has positively 
impacted our south Florida area as a school administrator and a 
community leader. It is with great pride, admiration, and affection 
that I join our community and University of Miami students, professors, 
and grads in thanking Dr. Shalala for her hard work and dedication.
  Donna, you are an outstanding member of our south Florida community, 
and we will certainly miss you. I wish you good fortune and all the 
best in this new, exciting, next chapter of your life.
  Oh, yes. Go Canes.
  Thank you, Donna.
