  Mr. GRAMM (for himself and Mrs. Hutchison) submitted the following 
resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 232

       Whereas the Houston Rockets began the 1993-94 season with a 
     15-0 start, tying an NBA record;
       Whereas the Rockets finished the 1993-94 season with a 58-
     24 record, second best in the NBA, and won the Midwest 
     Division for the second consecutive year;
       Whereas second-year coach Rudy Tomjanovich and his 
     assistants helped transform the Rockets from a solid playoff 
     team into the NBA's best;
       Whereas Hakeem Olajuwon was named the NBA's most valuable 
     player for the regular season, defensive player of the year, 
     and most valuable player of the NBA Finals;
       Whereas the Rockets won a hard-fought seven game series 
     with the New York Knicks in which each game was decided by 
     less than ten points;
       Whereas the Rockets gave the City of Houston its first NBA 
     Championship, a unique and special accomplishment in Houston 
     sports history; Now therefore be it
       Resolved, That the Senate congratulates the Houston Rockets 
     for their outstanding heart, resolve, and determination in 
     winning the 1994 National Basketball Association 
     Championship.
