                               GO BIG RED

  (Mr. BARRETT of Nebraska asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BARRETT of Nebraska. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the 1994 
National Champion Nebraska Cornhuskers, as they were honored today at 
the White House with President Clinton.
  Despite losing a starting quarterback and nearly losing a second one, 
coach Tom Osborne led his team to an undefeated season, and Nebraska's 
third national title. It was Coach Osborne's first national 
championship, one of the best coaching minds in the country.
  Nebraska's win in the Orange Bowl was a tremendous accomplishment, as 
the Cornhuskers overcame a hometown crowd and a very good Miami team. 
In the final analysis, the Huskers won it with heart. We're all proud 
of the tremendous effort that it took to win.
  Mr. Speaker, this outstanding team was not just No. 1 on the football 
field. They also have had 56 football academic all-Americans, more than 
any other university in the Nation. They work as hard in the classroom 
as they do on the football field.
  On behalf of the people of Nebraska and Husker fans everywhere, I say 
to Coach Osborne and the Cornhuskers: congratulations. You deserve to 
be No. 1.
