              TRIBUTE TO THE CHAMPION SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

  (Ms. PELOSI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, picking up on the sports theme from our 
colleague from Arizona, Mr. Speaker, I rise with great pride to praise 
the San Francisco 49ers organization, to Eddie DeBartolo, Carmen 
Policy, and Coach Seifert.
  Mr. Speaker, on Sunday California had a great day, it sent two great 
teams to the Super Bowl, where they were received magnificently by 
Miami. And, with all the admiration in the world for the San Diego 
Chargers, I say we are so proud of the San Francisco victory. It was a 
joy to see a litany of records broken one after another; five for five, 
five times at Super Bowl, five victories as six touchdowns by Steve 
Young, most post-season receptions by Jerry Rice, three touchdowns--you 
know the story--Ricky Watters. The list goes on and on. We are so 
proud.
  The coach of the San Diego Chargers probably said it best when he 
said, ``I think San Francisco is a great football team, maybe one of 
the best of all times. I don't know what we were--maybe we were 
awestruck.'' Awestruck for San Diego, awesome for San Francisco, all-
time great team. I am very, very proud to join my colleagues. I see 
Congressman George Miller and my other colleagues from the Bay Area to 
help salute the all-time great San Francisco 49ers.
