              CONTRATULATIONS TO THE PENGUINS FOR A TITLE

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, Youngstown State University, the 
Penguins, division I, double A, national champion football team, 3 of 
the last 4 years in a playoff, ladies and gentlemen, were received 
today at the White House by President Clinton. What a beautiful day for 
our valley and what a beautiful day for the top football coach in all 
of America, Jim Tressel, coach of the Penguins.
  The greatest record in the last 5 years of any program in the 
country, led by All-Americans Lester Weaver and Leon Jones, Chris 
Samarone of Cheney, in Youngstown, OH, Randy Smith, and great 
quarterback, Mark Grungard, of nearby Springfield Local.
  The Penguins defeated Marshall University 2 of those 3 years and 
defeated Boise State last year.
  Ladies and gentlemen, this is the finest program in America. They are 
typical of the fighting spirit of the people of the Mahoning Valley in 
Ohio who lost the steel mills but their tenacity is never quit.
  Hail to Jim Tressel and the Penguins. And at 3:30, Members, there 
will be a little reception in 2253. Come on by. The best in America.
