                  TRIBUTE TO CONGRESSMAN STEVE LARGENT

  (Mr. REGULA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. REGULA. Mr. Speaker, this past weekend one of our colleagues won 
yet another election; the gentleman from Oklahoma, Congressman Steve 
Largent, received football's ultimate honor, election to the Pro 
Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH, my home district.
  Induction into the Hall of Fame is reserved for only the greatest 
ever to play the game, and Steve won that honor in his first year of 
eligibility. He held six major career records at the time of his 
retirement. Steve retired 5 years ago with the well-deserved reputation 
of playing cleanly and with integrity. As a freshman in Washington, our 
friend Steve has already developed the same reputation in his new 
career. I congratulate him on the honor of his induction and look 
forward to his trip to the 16th District for induction ceremonies in 
July.
  Mr. Speaker, I also want to honor the other four 1995 inductees: 
Kellen Winslow of the San Diego Chargers, Lee Roy Selmon for the Tampa 
Bay Buccaneers, the late Henry Jordan of the Green Bay Packers, and the 
late Jim Finks, general manager for Minnesota and Chicago during their 
treks to the Super Bowl. All are outstanding men who richly deserve 
this honor.
