CHAMPAIGN NATIVE, TYLER 

MCGILL, WINS OLYMPIC GOLD IN 

SWIMMING 

HON. TIMOTHY V. JOHNSON OF ILLINOIS

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wednesday, September 12, 2012 

Mr. JOHNSON of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise 

today to recognize the achievements of Olympic Swimming Gold Medalist Tyler McGill. 

Champaign native, Tyler McGill, took home 

Olympic Gold last month. McGill was part of 

the 4X100-meter medley relay team that won 

gold in London. 

McGill, born and raised in Champaign, Illinois, was a State Champion swimmer at 

Champaign Central High School, and went on 

to become an All-American swimmer at Auburn University. 

Tyler has consistently been one of the top 

butterfly swimmers in the country. He qualified 

for the London Games, finishing second behind Michael Phelps at the USA Swimming 

Trials, with a time of 51.31 seconds. 

In London Tyler qualified third for the finals 

of the 100-meter butterfly, eventually finishing 

seventh. His medaling opportunity came shortly after his seventh place finish as he swam 

the butterfly leg during the prelims of the 

4X100-meter medley relay. USA went on to 

capture gold in that event and McGill took 

home some hardware. 

I would like to congratulate Tyler’s parents, 

Jeff and Susan, for the encouragement and 

support they have given Tyler over the years 

to become the exceptional Olympian that he is 

today.

RECOGNIZING OVARIAN CANCER 

AWARENESS MONTH 

HON. DARRELL E. ISSA OF CALIFORNIA

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wednesday, September 12, 2012 

Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of tens of thousands of women and their 

families. In 2012, over 22,000 women will be 

diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Tragically, 

15,500 will die from this disease. Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecological cancer 

among American women. 

This September, we recognize Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, honoring those who 

have battled cancer—and those who continue 

to struggle with the disease. Their courage is 

an inspiration to all of us and a reminder that 

together, we can beat ovarian cancer. 

With early diagnosis, ovarian cancer is survivable. Over 95% of women who detect ovarian cancer during the early stages of the disease defeat the disease. By learning the 

symptoms, checking their family histories and 

visiting with their doctors, women can detect 

ovarian cancer before it’s too late. 

No one and no family should have to face 

ovarian cancer without the knowledge necessary to detect and defeat it. Along with my 

fellow Congressmen and citizens, I am proud 

to have helped fight ovarian cancer. In 2005, 

I joined my colleagues to create a federal educational campaign for gynecological cancer, 

urging the Center for Disease Control and the 

Office of Women’s Health to cooperate with 

non-profits to raise cancer awareness among 

women and health practitioners. 

That year, I also successfully introduced 

Johanna’s Law. In memory of Johanna Silver, 

who lost her life to cancer after a three and a 

half month battle with ovarian cancer, 

Johanna’s Law has helped increase awareness of gynecological cancers. 

I urge all members to recognize and remember Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 

and the impact of cancer upon our community. 

RECOGNIZING THE 175TH ANNIVERSARY OF ZION LUTHERAN 

CHURCH 

HON. PETER J. ROSKAM OF ILLINOIS

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wednesday, September 12, 2012 

Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to 

rise today to congratulate Zion Lutheran 

Church on its 175th Anniversary. On September 30th, Zion Lutheran Church will celebrate its legacy of faith and service. 

Founded in 1837, Zion Lutheran Church is 

the second oldest established church in the 

State of Illinois. Spanning three different centuries, Zion Lutheran Church has helped make 

Bensenville a better place to live, learn, and 

worship. Members of the Zion Lutheran 

Church community have helped share the 

grace of God with others by helping establish 

11 additional Lutheran churches in DuPage 

County. Over the years, Zion Lutheran Church 

has brought hope and fellowship to countless 

individuals and families. 

Zion-Concord Lutheran School is also commemorating its 156th Anniversary this year. 

Since its inception, Zion-Concord Lutheran 

School has succeeded in its mission to provide families with a high quality Christian education and to nurture and enrich its students 

through the teaching of Holy Scripture. 

Mr. Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, 

please join me in recognizing these significant 

milestones for the Zion Lutheran Church and 

Zion-Concord Lutheran School, and in wishing 

them many more years of achievement and 

faithful service. May God bless the congregation on this special occasion.

SUPPORT OF OVARIAN CANCER 

MONTH 

HON. DAVID LOEBSACK OF IOWA

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wednesday, September 12, 2012 

Mr. LOEBSACK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today 

to express my support for women and families 

affected by ovarian cancer. In 2012, it is estimated that approximately 22,280 women will 

be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and 15,500 

will die of the disease. In Iowa alone an estimated 190 women will die from ovarian cancer 

this year. Too many American women—sisters, daughters, nieces, wives, friends, neighbors, and coworkers—are losing their lives to 

this disease. 

Ovarian cancer is the ninth most common 

cancer among women and the fifth leading 

cause of cancer-related deaths, making it the 

deadliest of gynecologic cancers. If ovarian 

cancer is treated before it spreads, the fiveyear survival rate is 93 percent. Currently, only 

15 percent of ovarian cancers are found at 

such an early stage and overall the relative 

five-year survival rate is 46 percent. I urge my
