          THE SEVENTH ANNUAL CONGRESSIONAL BASKETBALL CLASSIC

  (Mr. BONIOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, so far this year the Democrats and the 
Republicans have squared off on the House floor, we have squared off in 
the committees, we have squared off on the baseball diamond, but next 
Tuesday we will meet each other on the basketball court and finally we 
will have the answer to whether or not Steve Largent can actually dunk.
  Mr. Speaker, next Tuesday is the seventh annual congressional 
basketball classic. Every 2 years we play this game in support of 
Gallaudet University, the only university in the world specifically 
devoted to students who are deaf and have a hearing impairment.
  This year's game is being sponsored by the NBA, the Washington 
Bullets, Abe Pollin and Wes Unseld, the Denver Nuggets, with Walter 
Davis and COMSAT and many other businesses. The game is going to be 
played at the Gallaudet fieldhouse which is close to the Capitol, next 
Tuesday, 7:30. Tickets are available, so if you want to have fun, 
support a good cause, see some good action, come to the fieldhouse and 
see

this ball game, where we take on the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Oxley] 
and his mighty group of dunkers over there on the Republican side of 
the aisle.
