          RECOGNIZING CHANDA RUBIN, PROFESSIONAL TENNIS PLAYER

  (Mr. FIELDS of Louisiana asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FIELDS of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, today I take special pride in 
recognizing a very outstanding constituent of mine. She is a 19-year-
old professional tennis player from Lafayette, LA. I speak of no other 
than Chanda Rubin, daughter of Judge and Mrs. Edward D. Rubin.
  I am proud to say that Chanda Rubin just completed her best ever 
grand slam performance at the French Open. Although Chanda fell short 
to the defending champion in the quarterfinals yesterday, she proved to 
be a tough fighter. Her courage has touched the lives of many 
individuals, particularly young people, across this Nation. I commend 
Chanda for her hard work and I wish her the best of luck in the future.
