                     A'JA WILSON MAKES WNBA HISTORY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Nevada (Ms. Lee) for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate the 
first woman in history to score 1,000 points in a single WNBA season, 
the Las Vegas Aces' very own A'ja Wilson.
  I had the honor of witnessing A'ja make history last Sunday against 
the Connecticut Suns, where her signature fade-away mid-range jumper 
landed her in the history books once again.
  A'ja and the rest of the back-to-back world championship Vegas Aces 
are well known for breaking records, but this one felt particularly 
special.
  I thank A'ja and everyone in the Vegas Aces family for making their 
city proud. We look forward to cheering them all on as the Aces get one 
step closer to going back to back to back this year.
