                               RESOLUTION


 
   Recognizing the outstanding achievements of the Denver Broncos in 
                       winning Super Bowl XXXII.

Whereas on August 14, 1959, a passion was born in the heart of the Rocky 
        Mountain Region that brought such memories as ``Orange Crush,'' ``The 
        Drive,'' ``The Fumble,'' ``The Three Amigos,'' and 4 previous Super Bowl 
        appearances;
Whereas the fans of the Denver Broncos are recognized throughout the National 
        Football League (referred to in this resolution as the ``NFL'') for 
        their unconditional allegiance to the team, contributing to 229 
        consecutive sold-out stadium home games;
Whereas the Denver Broncos' organization assembled a championship caliber 
        coaching staff who created a championship caliber team;
Whereas the Denver Broncos played in 4 previous Super Bowls without winning, 
        represented the American Football Conference in Super Bowl XXXII which 
        had not won a Super Bowl in 13 years, and was considered the underdog in 
        the game; and
Whereas after almost 40 years, the Denver Broncos became champions of the NFL 
        with a victory in Super Bowl XXXII over the defending national champions 
        and perennial contenders, the Packers from Green Bay, Wisconsin: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) recognizes the outstanding achievement of the Denver 
        Broncos in winning Super Bowl XXXII on January 25, 1998; and
            (2) congratulates the players, staff, and fans of the 
        Denver Broncos for a terrific football season and a thrilling 
        victory in Super Bowl XXXII.
