 WELCOMING DR. JULIO FRENK AS THE SIXTH PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF 
                                 MIAMI

  (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. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dr. Julio 
Frenk on being named as the sixth president of the University of Miami 
and the first Hispanic to be selected for this job. Dr. Frenk joins my 
hometown Hurricanes after a 6-year tenure as dean of Harvard's School 
of Public Health.
  The son of German and Spanish immigrants who settled in Mexico, Dr. 
Frenk's remarkable career as an academic and a public servant also 
includes his service as the Mexican Minister of Health under President 
Vicente Fox.
  I would like to welcome Dr. Frenk and his wife, Dr. Felicia Knaul, to 
south Florida and to the Miami Hurricanes family. I look forward to 
working with him as he leads the university's continued transformation 
into a global research hub in a world class international city.
  Go Canes.
