                RECOGNIZING ELIZABETH ``BEEZIE'' MADDEN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. WILLIAM L. OWENS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 23, 2012

  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of my 
constituents, Elizabeth ``Beezie'' Madden of Cazenovia, New York for 
her involvement in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
  Beezie already has a very distinguished riding career, establishing 
herself as one of the premier equestrian riders in the world. In 
addition to becoming the first woman to pass the $1 million mark in 
show jumping earnings, she has competed in two Olympics, winning two 
Gold medals and a Bronze.
  Beezie will be competing in the London Olympics representing the 
United States this summer. Her success adds to a long history of New 
York Olympians continuing the proud American athletic tradition in 
international competition. I wish Beezie all the best in the Olympics, 
and I know she will represent our region--and our nation--proudly.

                          ____________________
