                      LINGANORE LANCERS ARE NO. 1

  (Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland. Mr. Speaker, there is life outside the 
Congress.
  I rise today to recognize the achievements of Linganore High School--
the Lancers--and its three 1995 State championships. This fall, the 
Linganore girls cross-country team and team member Kristen Ritter won 
the State Division 2-A team and individual State championships.
  Most recently, Linganore's football team won its third State 
championship in Division 2-A.
  It last won the championship in 1991.
  The Lancers' first State football championship was earned in Division 
3-A in 1989. I am very proud that a member of my staff, Jeff Jones, 
started as the middle-linebacker on that first championship team.
  First year Linganore head football coach Bill McIntosh deserves a lot 
of credit for nurturing these fine young men into a winning team.
  The 1995 State championships were a great and difficult goal.
  The Lancers set their sights on achieving that goal. Then they went 
out and made it happen--three times so far this year.
  May the example of the 1995 Maryland State Champion Linganore High 
School girls cross-country team, Kristen Ritter, and the football team 
inspire those of us in Congress to achieve our goal of a balanced 
budget in 7 years.
