  Mr. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the following

Leatherby, Sr., Gene Sosnick Award; Jeff Tidsel, Rowland P. Smith

  Mr. Speaker, I commend the 1994 scholar-athletes for their many 
accomplishments. I am sure that my colleagues join me in saluting these 
invaluable members of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame 
for their expertise and their sportsmanship. It is through their hard 
work and sacrifice that these young men have met the challenge of 
excelling in two different environments. I extend my best wishes for 
their continued success in all their future endeavors.
