                     U.S. Women's World Cup Victory

  Mr. CARDIN. Madam President, Sunday morning, I did what I think most 
people in this Nation did if they were not in France. I turned on the 
television to watch the women's national soccer team perform in an 
incredible showing of talent and commitment on the soccer field. It was 
an incredible victory for the women's national team, and we are all 
very proud of what they were able to accomplish. This has been an 
incredible streak.
  Since the Women's World Cup was established in 1991, there have been 
eight competitions. The United States has won four--and the last two 
consecutively--beating the Netherlands on Sunday by a score of 2 to 0.
  We all congratulate the team. We are very proud. They represented our 
Nation extremely well. Each of us shares that pride.
  As a Maryland Senator, I want to acknowledge Rose Lavelle and Mallory 
Pugh, who are from the Washington Spirit, which is based in Germantown, 
MD.
