                       CONGRATULATING JANA FALIC

  (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. Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight to congratulate a dear 
friend and an incredibly kind and compassionate woman, Jana Falic, the 
president of Women's International Zionist Organization, WIZO, U.S.A.
  This Wednesday, March 26, Jana will be honored at this year's annual 
WIZO Gala with the prestigious Joseph Handleman Light of Philanthropy 
Award for her outstanding contributions to securing Israel's future.
  Through her time, effort, and generosity, Jana has helped WIZO secure 
the needs of vulnerable Israelis through assistance, education, and 
empowerment so that they too can realize the hope of a better tomorrow.
  Her philanthropic endeavors are motivated by her deep affection for 
the democratic Jewish State of Israel and have helped improve the lives 
of so many children, women, and elderly Israelis.
  I can't think of anyone more deserving of this award than Jana Falic, 
and I only regret that I cannot be there in person to congratulate this 
good friend of Israel, this good friend of the United States.
  Congratulations, Jana.
