   RECOGNIZING AMBASSADOR SUE COBB FOR RECEIVING ``ORDER OF JAMAICA''

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize 
a very distinguished Coral Gables resident, Ambassador Sue Cobb, on 
being a recent recipient of the Order of Jamaica.
  A fellow University of Miami graduate, Ambassador Cobb is the first 
U.S. woman to receive this distinction, one of Jamaica's highest 
awards. It recognizes her service as our United States Ambassador for 
the years 2001 to 2005, as well as her continuing efforts to promote 
Jamaica's interests and support its development. She continues her 
service to this island nation as president of American Friends of 
Jamaica. This organization is helping to bring greater prosperity and 
educational opportunities to the people of Jamaica.
  Sue, this well-deserved award is a testament to your strength of 
character and to your determination, and we in South Florida are indeed 
fortunate to call you our neighbor. Congratulations to Sue Cobb.
