                           THE COMEBACK CITY

  (Mr. STOKES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STOKES. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, my good friend and colleague, 
John Lewis, stood in this well and delivered a passionate speech 
supporting the Atlanta Braves as they landed in Cleveland for game 
three of the World Series. For those who might have gone to bed early 
last evening, let me sum things up for you.
  In comeback city, last night, the wind-chill factor hovered at 29 
degrees. A little help from Mother Nature, Eddie Murray, Kenny Lofton, 
and Jose Mesa, proved to be just what the Indians needed. The team was 
magnificent in winning game three of the World Series.
  Mr. Speaker, to my colleague from Atlanta, John Lewis, I would say, 
It ain't over 'til it's over. To the fans and players from the Atlanta 
Braves, I say, Welcome to Cleveland, the comeback city.
