 CONGRATULATING CHANDLER WASHBURN AND THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY 
                            MIXED CREW TEAM

  (Mr. RUTHERFORD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RUTHERFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Midshipman 
Chandler Washburn and the entire United States Naval Academy mixed crew 
team for their victory at the historic, now historic, King's Cup this 
past July.
  The King's Cup is a prestigious race between eight allied military 
forces, and has only been held twice, once in 1919, and this year on 
the 100th anniversary. The U.S. Naval Academy defeated countries like 
Canada, France, and Germany on their way to winning the cup.
  The Northeast Florida community is incredibly proud of Chandler and 
his fellow midshipmen on this extraordinary accomplishment.
  Chandler graduated from the Episcopal School in Jacksonville and is 
now a sophomore at the Naval Academy. Like all those representing us at 
service academies across the country, his commitment to both academics 
and military service inspire us all.
  On behalf of the Fourth District of Florida, congratulations to 
Chandler and the Naval Academy mixed crew team for a victory they will 
remember for the rest of their lives.
