                        Wednesday, April 13, 2005

Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, on April 11, 2005, Miss North Carolina,
Chelsea Cooley, won the Miss USA pageant. I congratulate her on this
momentous accomplishment and want her to know that everyone in her
hometown of Charlotte, NC, is very proud of her.

The Miss USA pageant is a competition where America's best and the
brightest young women compete for the crown of Miss USA. It is truly a
great accomplishment for Chelsea to have been crowned as the winner of
this tough competition.

Currently, Chelsea is studying fashion marketing at the Art Institute
of Charlotte. She listed that her dream job would be working as a buyer
for Ralph Lauren. I have no doubt that she can achieve this, and many
other, dreams.

Chelsea will now go on to represent the U.S. this May in the Miss
Universe competition in Bangkok, Thailand. Chelsea's hometown of
Charlotte, North Carolina, will again be cheering her on as will the
whole country. We know she will represent us well and will do our
country proud.
