                 FEDERAL RETIREMENT AND PENSION SYSTEM

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the Speaker's announced policy of 
January 4, 1995, the gentleman from Minnesota [Mr. Gutknecht] is 
recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader.
  Mr. GUTKNECHT. Mr. Speaker, I want to speak for a little time this 
afternoon about some issues. I am going to be sharing time later with 
some of my freshman colleagues but I would like to indulge my 
colleagues for just a moment on some personal business to say a special 
congratulations.


  congratulations to rochester mayo and rochester lourdes high school 
                        girls' basketball teams

  Mr. Speaker, I'd like to congratulate two outstanding high school 
girls' basketball teams from my home city of Rochester, MN. Last 
Saturday, the teams from Rochester Mayo and Rochester Lourdes won the 
Minnesota State basketball titles for class double-A and class A 
schools, respectively. Never before in Minnesota's history have two 
teams from the same city won State titles in the same year. Coach Bob 
Brooks of Rochester Mayo and Coach Myron Glass of Rochester Lourdes 
deserve the highest recognition for their service and leadership. 
Someone once said, ``Sports do not build character, they reveal it.'' 
This is certainly true of the girls of Rochester Mayo and Lourdes, who 
represented their schools and their city with distinction at the State 
tournament.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope that you and my colleagues here today will share 
my heartfelt congratulations to these two great examples of American 
young women in pursuit of excellence.
  I include for the Record the name of the team players, as follows:
                       Rochester Mayo High School
