                      RECOGNIZING KAYLEE TOLLESON

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remind America that Fort Bend 
County, Texas, is the ice-skating mecca of our country.
  Here is Fort Bend's Tara Lipinski, the youngest woman ever to win a 
figure skating gold medal in Olympic history.
  I regret that I have some bad news for Tara. She is about to become 
the second youngest woman to win a gold medal in skating.
  Here is the soon-to-be youngest woman gold medalist. This is Kaylee 
Tolleson. She lives in Fort Bend County, just like Tara did. She has 
already won a gold medal--her life.
  Last year, at 9 years old, young Kaylee found out that she had a 
cancerous tumor the size of a softball on her ovary. Kaylee fought to 
live. With the love of mom and dad; the miracle workers at Texas 
Children's Hospital; and her personal idol, Channel 13 weatherman 
Travis Herzog, recently, Kaylee rang a bell. She is now cancer-free.
  Mr. Speaker, I invite all of America to watch Kaylee skate in the 
World Olympics in 2026 in Milan, Italy. May God bless Kaylee, and we 
look forward to watching her on TV.
