                       RECOGNIZING SUSAN MARCHESE

  (Mr. ASHFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. ASHFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of Omaha's 
most illustrious athletes, Susan Marchese. Susan has been a dominant 
figure in Nebraska amateur golf for 40 years, dating back to her first 
two high school State championships in 1977 and 1978 as a student 
athlete at Omaha's Duchesne Academy.
  After high school, she attended the University of Oklahoma, where she 
was a four-time letter winner and an individual runner-up in the Big 
Eight tournament in 1981.
  Throughout the course of her post-college career, Susan has won 18 
State amateur golf championships, 16 Omaha city championships, and six 
Nebraska senior women's golf championships. Her success on the green 
led to her induction as a member of the Nebraska Golf Hall of Fame, 
Nebraska High School Hall of Fame, Omaha Athletic Hall of Fame, and the 
Duchesne Academy Sports Hall of Fame.
  Now, as a Member of the House of Representatives, I am here to 
recognize the outstanding career of Susan Marchese.
