                     CONGRATULATING PHILLIS OETERS

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Phillis Oeters, 
chair of the 2009-2010 Orange Bowl Committee. Phillis has offered 
outstanding public service to Miami-Dade for the past 25 years. She has 
served on numerous community boards and has been active in several 
community arts organizations. She has also been recognized for her 
altruistic works many times, receiving awards and honors from the 
Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, the American Red Cross, and United 
Way of Miami-Dade.
  Phillis' strong professional background and her commitment to serving 
others made her the ideal candidate to chair the prestigious Orange 
Bowl Committee. She became the second woman in 100 years to chair a 
college bowl game.
  Phillis, on behalf of all of south Florida and the United States 
Congress, congratulations on this achievement. Thank you for what you 
have done to make our community a much better place. Thank you, 
Phillis.
