                        Thursday, March 16, 1995
  Mr. ROTH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Fightin' 
Phoenix, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay men's basketball team. 
The Fightin' Phoenix were invited for the third time in 5 years to 
compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association men's 
basketball tournament. As such, their team has been recognized as one 
of the elite basketball programs in the Nation.
  Just as remarkable, after posting a 22-7 season, the University of 
Wisconsin-Green Bay won the Midwest Collegiate league championship this 
year. Led by their exceptional coach, Dick Bennett, and star forward 
Jeff Nordgaard, the Fightin' Phoenix posted another great season for 
all their fans in northeast Wisconsin.
  As the team's strongest supporter in the Nation's capital, I want to 
wish the best of luck to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay as they 
begin their quest for greater basketball glory. I know all of northeast 
Wisconsin joins me in congratulating the Fightin' Phoenix for their 
stellar season and wishing them all the best in the NCAA tournament.
