                              FRAN AND PEG

  (Ms. TENNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two outstanding 
members of our community and my dear friends: Peg Roberts, a retired 
teacher, and Fran Henry, a retired nurse.
  Peg and Fran embody the American patriotic spirit through their 
musical talent. The two sisters were inspired by the famous duo, 
Diamond and Silk. They refer to themselves as Ruby and Lace. Some of us 
in the country affectionately refer to them as Coal and Flannel. These 
darling songstresses, retirees, have also been known by the moniker, 
``the two Hotties.''
  It is a true honor to represent such determined and patriotic people. 
Mr. Speaker, I hope you and all my colleagues can laugh a little and 
enjoy the humorous lyrics of our upstate Hotties, affectionately known 
as Ruby and Lace, or as I like to call them, Coal and Flannel.
