  INTRODUCTION OF THE HONORABLE STEVE LARGENT AS A MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  (Mr. ISTOOK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. ISTOOK. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to introduce to the 
Members of the House the newest Member of the 103d Congress, also to be 
a Member of the 104th Congress, which actually brings to an end a 
series of fascinating events in our great home State of Oklahoma this 
year.
  We had the resignation of Congressman Glenn English and the election 
of Congressman Frank Lucas, the resignation of U.S. Senator David Boren 
to assume the presidency of the University of Oklahoma, the special 
election of Congressman Jim Inhofe to the U.S. Senate, and now the 
swearing in of the new Member from Tulsa, OK, of the First District.
  This is a gentleman who has already shown great ability of 
accomplishment in a previous field and who will also show that great 
ability and will show excellence in the U.S. Congress. In the National 
Football League, he was named the NFL Man of the Year, not for is 
accomplishments on the field, which were tremendous, but for his 
accomplishments off the field, working with the community, with the 
family, and the adherence and allegiance to the values that he 
professes--a great honor.
  I am very pleased that he is a graduate of a high school in my 
congressional district, Putman City High School, which is in the 
Oklahoma City suburb of Warr Acres, and where my children attend high 
school. If you were still playing football there today, Steve, you 
would find that two of the cheerleaders are my daughters, and they 
would be cheering you on as ardently as everyone else has.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to introduce a great gentleman as the 
newest Member of Congress from Oklahoma, the Honorable Steve Largent.
