                           TEXANS FROM SWEDEN

  (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, there is a force of nature that all Texans 
know: Texans from Sweden. I am one. But the most powerful one is a 17-
year-old Cinco Ranch Cougar. Her name is Jennifer Lindgren.
  As you can see, Jennifer was born without a left hand. Not a problem. 
Jennifer says: ``Most of the time, I forget that I have one hand. I 
have always just done pretty much what everybody else has done.''
  Jennifer, you are wrong. You have done more than anyone else ever 
could do.
  Jennifer is the president of the Cinco Ranch FFA. Her sheep, Lou, won 
third place at the recent FFA livestock show.
  Jennifer, you are awesome. As you go off to the great Aggie school, 
Texas A&M University, you must change a little bit. You have to say 
``howdy,'' ``gig em,'' and ``whoop'' a lot.
