                               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.)

[[Page H11466]]

  Mr. BARRETT of Nebraska. Madam Speaker, I rise today to settle a bet.
  About a week ago, the gentleman from Colorado [Mr. Allard] challenged 
me to a small wager on the outcome of the Colorado Buffalo-Nebraska 
Cornhusker football game. I accepted that challenge, and the 
Cornhuskers did not let me down.
  The decisive score: Nebraska 44, Colorado 21. Nebraska apparently is 
well on its way to defending its national championship, and perhaps 
another national championship game in Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl.
  This is the cap that the gentleman from Colorado [Mr. Allard] will be 
wearing around Capitol Hill today. I want you all to take a good look 
at it, and I hope that you will all take the time to congratulate him 
on the victory of the team whose cap he is sporting.
  I know, Madam Speaker, that this time is devoted to serious issues 
affecting each of our districts, but football is serious in Nebraska as 
well as Colorado. I can think of few things of any more interest or 
that unite people more than football.
  Go Big Red.
