        MEMBER OF CONGRESS ELECTED TO PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME

  (Mr. LaHOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker and Members, I come here today to pay special 
honor to one of our Members, the gentleman from Oklahoma [Mr. Largent].
  Over the weekend the gentleman from Oklahoma [Mr. Largent] was 
elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and it is a particular honor 
for me as Steve is a Member of the new freshman class, as I am.
  In 14 years with the Seattle Sea Hawks, Mr. Speaker, the gentleman 
from Oklahoma [Mr. Largent] set six different career records and 
participated in seven pro bowls. On the gridiron he led the Nation in 
touchdown receptions in 1974 and 1975. In 1988, Mr. Speaker, the 
gentleman from Oklahoma [Mr. Largent] was honored as NFL Man of the 
Year for his accomplishments on the field and off.
  Mr. Speaker, he brings great honor and distinction to this body, and 
in particular I am proud to say he is a Member of our class and a 
Member of the House of Representatives. I say to the gentleman, 
``Congratulations, Steve Largent, for being elected to the Pro Football 
Hall of Fame, a great honor for you and a great honor for all of us.''
