                      RECOGNIZING OLEH SHTEFANCHUK

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Iowa (Mrs. Miller-Meeks) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Oleh, or 
``Odee,'' Shtefanchuk from Chernivtsi, Ukraine.
  Odee is currently a foreign exchange student who is studying at WACO 
Community High School in Wayland, Iowa.
  Growing up, Odee heard of American football, and when he enrolled at 
WACO Community High School, his friends convinced him to try out for 
the football team.
  Even though Odee is still learning the rules and procedures, he has 
been instrumental in leading the Warriors in an undefeated season and 
an appearance in the State title game.
  I thank the coaches, the faculty, and the students of WACO Community 
High School for showing Odee why Iowa is the best place to work, live, 
play, and raise a family.
  I would also acknowledge December 7 as Pearl Harbor Day, a day that 
we should long remember as it cements to us the importance of our 
rights under our Constitution.
