                           THE CURSE IS OVER

  (Mr. ENGEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, last night, I and millions of others stood by 
our television sets and watched in joy as the New York Rangers finally, 
after 54 years, won the Stanley Cup. It was a miracle that some of us 
thought might never happen, but, after last night, I must say, after 
watching Brian Leetch and Mark Messier hold the Stanley Cup up over 
their heads, we New Yorkers said that the jinx, or the curse, is 
finally over.
  I say to my colleagues this morning, Mr. Speaker, that, if the New 
York Rangers can win the Stanley Cup, surely Congress can pass 
comprehensive health care this session.
