                      RECOGNIZING LEWIS CHITENGWA

  (Mr. ROY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, in December 1992, my friend, Lewis Chitengwa, 
defeated Tiger Woods in a tournament called the Orange Bowl in Florida.
  A year later, my friend, Lewis Chitengwa, was denied entrance and 
asked to go into the back where the caddies go in when he went to the 
South African Amateur Championship. He went on to win that tournament, 
becoming the first Black man to win the South African Amateur.
  Unfortunately, 20 years ago this Wednesday, my friend, Lewis, my 
brother in Christ, my teammate at the University of Virginia, went to 
see the Lord when he passed away from viral meningitis.
  My teammates will be regaling his life this Wednesday. I am going to 
take to the floor for a Special Order in July to talk more about this 
man, who was ultimately inducted into the Hall of Fame in South Africa 
with a speech from the famous Gary Player.
