ruthi bolton now stands shoulder to shoulder with lucy harris in the women's basketball hall of fame. mr. president, my wife, gail, and i had the honor of meeting ruthie bolton a few days ago while touring her native green county, mississippi. we each got to hold the two gold medals, and ruthie and i were given the privilege of leading a local lunch crowd in a verse of "amazing grace." as we celebrate black history month, i am immensely proud to honor these two outstanding mississippi athletes. in her oscar-nominated film, lucy harris had this message to the next generation of young americans. she said, and i quote, i especially want those young children to understand that if you work hard, anything is possible. that was the optimistic attitude that made lucy harris such a success. those were great words of advice to our future heroes, words proveed true by people like mississippians, lucy harris and ruthie bolton. i yield the floor and i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: dump trillions of dollars in the left-wing spending
