                     TRIBUTE TO VICTORIA LONG RUBIN

  Mr. WICKER. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Mrs. Victoria 
Long Rubin, a Knauss Sea Grant fellow on the U.S. Senate Committee on 
Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
  Mrs. Ruben's scientific expertise has informed the committee's 
efforts in a meaningful and professional way. She has worked on several 
pieces of legislation that are important to improve the safety and 
economic security of the Nation, including the TORNADO Act, the 
Maritime Technical Advancement Act, and the first authorization of the 
Minority Business Development Agency. Her contributions will help 
improve tornado forecasting to keep Americans safer from deadly storms, 
promote maritime education at our Nation's community colleges, and 
increase support for rural minority businesses.
  I would like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to Mrs. 
Rubin for all of the fine work she has done and wish her luck in the 
years to come.
