                 CELEBRATING THE LEAGUE AGAINST CANCER

  (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, today I rise to support La Liga 
Contra El Cancer--the League Against Cancer--and celebrate its 41st 
year of service.
  The League Against Cancer was founded in Miami in 1975 and provides 
free medical care for children and adults who have no financial means 
to combat their cancers. The league relies on doctors who volunteer 
their time to perform screenings and medical procedures.
  Since its founding, more than 60,000 people from 50 different 
countries have been served by La Liga Contra El Cancer. The league's 
annual tele-marathon will take place this Saturday, June 4, at the 
Miami-Dade County Fairgrounds.
  I encourage all south Floridians to take note of the great work that 
the League Against Cancer has accomplished for our community and 
consider supporting their mission.
