                       BRAGGING ON SIMONE MANUEL

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, Members of Congress love to brag. Texans like 
me brag the most.
  Today, I am going to brag about a young lady from my hometown of 
Sugar Land, Texas. She is a Bulldog from Austin High School. Her name 
is Simone Manuel. If you don't know that name today, you will after 
this summer's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
  Simone swims fast, really fast, water-on-fire fast. In fact, she 
recently swam so fast she is swimming in three events at the Olympics: 
the 50-meter freestyle, the 100-meter freestyle, and the 4-by-100-meter 
freestyle relay.
  Texas women love precious metal. They are okay with bronze, they like 
silver, and they love gold.
  Good luck, Simone. Bring home some precious metal to Sugar Land, 
Texas. Sugar Land loves you.
