                         Thursday, May 25, 2023

  Mr. CARTER of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, today I am proud to welcome the 
LSU Lady Tigers to our Nation's Capital.
  They had an all-star season, which included bringing LSU's first 
basketball national title home to Louisiana and achieving the highest 
scoring championship game in women's NCAA history. This LSU women's 
basketball team exemplifies the true Louisiana spirit of resilience. 
They never counted themselves out or listened to naysayers, they worked 
hard, and they triumphed. Their teamwork, unity, and drive are 
remarkable.
  I thank LaDazhia Williams, Jasmine Carson, Flau'jae Johnson, Sa'Myah 
Smith, Angel Reese, Emily Ward, Last-Tear Poa, Izzy Besselman, Alisa 
Williams, Amani Bartlett, Alexis Morris, Kateri Poole, Coach Mulkey, 
Coach Starkey, Coach Mitchell, Coach Redus, and the entire LSU Women's 
Basketball staff for bringing their team spirit, Louisiana's spirit, to 
the whole country.
  I'm glad they are being exclusively honored in Washington, D.C. this 
week and receiving the recognition they deserve.

                          ____________________
