                  UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI'S DONNA SHALALA

  (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 recognize Donna 
Shalala, the former Secretary of Health and Human Services and the 
president of my alma mater, the University of Miami.
  President Shalala is the recipient of the Greater Miami Chamber of 
Commerce's Sand in My Shoes Award, which is given to community leaders 
who have shown through their exceptional contributions that south 
Florida really is the best place in which to live and work. Under 
Donna's leadership, the University of Miami has grown in quality and 
prominence and is ranked not only as the best university in Florida, 
but is consistently in the top 50 nationwide; and its undergraduate, 
sports, law, and medical programs are recognized as some of the best in 
the country.
  President Shalala's achievements at the ``U'' have strengthened and 
advanced our unique, diverse, and remarkable community. Donna Shalala 
is a true champion of south Florida.
  Congrats, Donna, and Go Canes.
