          CELEBRATING SISTER JEANNE O'LAUGHLIN'S 85TH BIRTHDAY

  (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 am delighted to wish a happy and 
healthy 85th birthday to Sister Jeanne O'Laughlin.
  For 23 years, Sister Jeanne served as the fifth president at Barry 
University, and made it the fourth-largest private university in my 
home State of Florida. It is because of Sister Jeanne's vision and 
enthusiasm in taking on such a challenging responsibility that Barry 
University has now expanded from 16 to 55 buildings on its campus, and 
increased its enrollment to more than 9,000 while maintaining its goal 
of academic excellence.
  Sister Jeanne has also been an active member of our community in 
civic and professional associations, and has been the recipient of 
several accolades related to her work. She became the first woman to be 
a member of both the Orange Bowl Committee and the Non-Group of Miami-
Dade County. The south Florida community is truly blessed to have the 
benefit of Sister Jeanne's experience. Her tenacity is a beacon of hope 
to us all.
  Happy birthday, Sister Jeanne, and many more.
