             THE FLYING DUTCHMEN OF LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE

 Mr. WOFFORD. Mr. President, on Saturday March 19, 1994, a 
group of inspired and determined athletes from Lebanon Valley College, 
a liberal arts college of only 950 students, defeated the Violets of 
New York University, a school with over 49,000 enrolled, to win the 
1994 NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Championship. This victory was 
the first national championship in Lebanon Valley's 129-year history.
  The Flying Dutchmen of Lebanon Valley College have accomplished a 
remarkable feat, despite the college's small size. Because Division III 
schools can not award athletic scholarships, the student-athletes of 
Lebanon Valley play for their love of the game. These men are truly 
talented and represent the very best that our schools have to offer.
  The dedication and commitment of the athletes and coaches, in 
addition to the incredible support from their fans, demonstrate that a 
united effort brings the ultimate reward--the thrill of reaching a 
lofty but achievable goal.
  I congratulate the Flying Dutchmen and Lebanon Valley College on its 
success, and I send my best wishes for future achievement.
