                   TRIBUTE TO THE SAN DIEGO CHARGERS

  (Mr. CUNNINGHAM asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Mr. Speaker, I cannot tell the Members the disdain I 
have for some of my colleagues for not supporting the San Diego 
Chargers. I rise today to pay tribute to the new champions of the 
American Football Conference, the San Diego Chargers. It is no secret 
that America's finest city has now America's finest football team.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to salute president Alex Spanos and general 
manager Bobby Beathard, who have defied skeptics and produced a world 
class team through perseverance, hard work, and a little luck and a 
little stealth; to coach Bobby Ross and his team of coaches who are 
proven motivators; and, finally, to the players, the San Diego team, a 
team who the Nation's experts picked to finish last.
  I would say to the minority, Mr. Speaker, never ever not support your 
home team, but always take the point spread, and I would say to the 
gentlewoman from California [Ms. Pelosi], the Sees candy is going to 
taste great.
