               ISAIAH MISAILEGALU'S VOICE IS SAMOAN SILK

  (Ms. Lee of Nevada was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Ms. LEE of Nevada. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate who I 
believe will be the next winner of ``American Idol,'' Sierra Vista High 
School's own and Nevada Third District constituent Isaiah Misailegalu.
  Over the weekend, I watched Isaiah get his golden ticket to Hollywood 
after singing ``A Song for You,'' with his uncle playing the guitar by 
his side. With a voice like his, it is no wonder they are calling him 
Samoan Silk.
  Not only is Isaiah a powerful and talented singer, but he also shines 
on the football field and volleyball court and in leading his school's 
Polynesian Club.
  No matter what Isaiah does, I hope he knows that the entire southern 
Nevada community is behind him chasing his dreams. I wish him the best 
of luck on his ``American Idol'' journey.
