  Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the members of 
the 1999-2000 Southwest Texas State University All-Girl Cheerleading

the Universal Cheerleading Association's 2000 College Cheerleading and 
Dance Team National Championship. The competition was held during the 
Universal Cheerleading Association's 2000 Championship at Walt Disney 
World in Orlando, Florida, on January 7, 2000.
  Located in the Texas Hill Country city of San Marcos, Southwest Texas

All-Girl Cheerleading Squad; Karla Brown, Charissa Canuelle, Lexi 
Chaleff, Alexandrea Collie, Krystal Davis, Patricia Goolsby, Ashley 
Harmon, Robyn Kyrish, Sara Martinez, Shavaun Moynahan, Aimee Moyers, 
Nicki O'Riley, Kristi Oberpriller, April Rheinlaender, Jennifer Rogers, 
and Brandi Wilkie. These talented young women received outstanding 
leadership and support from their coach, Jason Anderson, and the team's 
trainer, Scott Chambers.
  On January 25, 2000, a ceremony was held at the Texas State Capitol 
Building in Austin, Texas, in honor of the squad. At one o'clock, in 
the historic chambers of the Texas House of Representatives, State 
Representative Rick Green presented each of the young champions a copy 
of a resolution congratulating them on their achievement. A Texas flag 
flown at the request of Representative Green and a flag of the United 
States flown at my request were presented to the team. These flags, 
flown in recognition of their victory, now frame the young women's 
trophy proudly displayed at their university.
  The squad's hard work and dedication to purpose reflects the will 
that built the great State of Texas and our nation. By continuing this 
same dedication and work ethic throughout their lives, these young 
women will succeed in all of their future endeavors. It is my pleasure 
to be able to congratulate and recognize these fine young Texans in 
their achievement.
