  To commend and congratulate the University of Kentucky on its men's 
    basketball team winning its sixth National Collegiate Athletic 
                       Association championship.

Whereas the University of Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team defeated 
        Syracuse University's team on April 1, 1996, in East Rutherford, New 
        Jersey, to win its sixth National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) 
        championship;
Whereas the senior members of this team, during their four-year varsity careers, 
        were also NCAA semi-finalists and three-time champions of the 
        Southeastern Conference;
Whereas Coach Rick Pitino, his staff, and his players displayed outstanding 
        dedication, teamwork, unselfishness, and sportsmanship throughout the 
        course of the season in achieving collegiate basketball's highest honor, 
        earning for themselves the nickname ``The Untouchables''; and
Whereas Coach Pitino and the Wildcats have brought pride and honor to the 
        Commonwealth of Kentucky, which is rightly known as the basketball 
        capital of the world: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate commends and congratulates the University 
of Kentucky on its outstanding accomplishment.
    Sec. 2. The Secretary of the Senate shall transmit a copy of this 
resolution to the president of the University of Kentucky.
