 CONGRATULATING MIAMI CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL ON ITS RECOGNITION AS ONE OF 
                        AMERICA'S BEST HOSPITALS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the order of the House of 
January 23, 2002, the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Ros-Lehtinen) is 
recognized during morning hour debates for 5 minutes.
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to congratulate Miami 
Children's Hospital for recently having been recognized among America's 
best hospitals by U.S. News and World Report. ``We are here for our 
children'' is the motto of Miami Children's Hospital, and this 
principle is demonstrated every day by always seeking innovative ways 
to better serve the children of south Florida.
  A recent groundbreaking celebrated the hospital's new expansion 
efforts to renovate its medical campus. These include a radiology 
expansion, an ambulatory care building, a helistop, and a hurricane-
proof encapsulation.
  Based on the vision of one man, Ambassador David Walters, Miami 
Children's Hospital is indeed building on a dream. Under the leadership 
of its President and CEO, Thomas Rozek, it is demonstrating a never-
ending commitment to children and its pioneering achievements in 
pediatric care.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Miami 
Children's Hospital for this prestigious achievement and recognition.
