            NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS: COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS

                                 ______


                           HON. DOUG BEREUTER

                              of nebraska

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, January 3, 1996

  Mr. BEREUTER. Mr. Speaker, last night the University of Nebraska 
Cornhuskers firmly convinced all of America that they are still the No. 
1 college football team in the country.
  The Huskers' complete domination of the University of Florida Gators 
in the Fiesta Bowl for a 62 to 24 win was truly one of the most 
impressive displays of offensive and defensive talent in college 
football history.
  It is also important to note that this awe-inspiring victory was 
Nebraska's 36th win in a 3-year period, establishing a new record.
  The Cornhuskers, under the extraordinary coaching and steady 
leadership of Coach Tom Osborne, demonstrated remarkable persistence 
and consistency in their drive toward a second consecutive national 
championship. Their committed efforts show that the reward of success 
is won by dedication, teamwork, exceptional conditioning, high 
motivation, and the superior efforts of Coach Osborne and his coaching 
and support staff.
  As an alumnus of the university and the Representative in Congress 
from Lincoln, the home of the Huskers, this Member enthusiastically 
congratulates the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers and Coach Osborne 
on another well-deserved national championship.
