the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DEAN of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, as the world watches the Paris 
Summer Olympics begin, Pennsylvania is sending our very best, and I am 
not just talking about our athletes.
  From Berks County, Pennsylvania, GK Elite Sportswear has made Team 
USA women's gymnastics uniforms, bringing a piece of fabric from the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to Paris.
  Of course, the stars of the Olympics are the competitors, women and 
men with awe-inspiring, singular dedication and discipline.
  Three-quarters of the United States women's field hockey team are 
Pennsylvanian, including three residents of my home, Pennsylvania's 
Fourth Congressional District: Ashley Sessa from Schwenksville, Phia 
Gladieux from Oley, and Meredith Sholder from Fleetwood.
  On the men's USA swim team, Chris Guiliano from Douglassville will be 
competing in the 50-, 100-, and 200-meter freestyle events.
  I congratulate and wish good luck to: Ashley, Phia, Meredith, Chris, 
and all the hardworking, talented athletes representing Team USA in the 
games in Paris. They are the very best of us. Once again, Montgomery 
County and Berks County, Pennsylvania, are leading the way.
