           SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY NATIONAL FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

 Mr. BREAUX. Mr. President, I would like to take this 
opportunity to congratulate Southern University of Baton Rouge, LA, for 
winning this year's historically black college national football 
championship. With their victory in the Heritage Bowl on December 29, 
1995, the Jaguars of Southern University won their sixth national 
football title and their first since 1960.
  The Jaguars, who finished the season with an 11-0 record, captured 
the national title in a 30 to 25 victory over Florida A&M in the 
Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
  I would like to especially congratulate Coach Pete Richardson, his 
staff, and an outstanding group of players for all the hard work and 
effort they put into making this a championship season. Your undefeated 
record and national title are bright examples of the rewards of 
teamwork and determination. Thank you for bringing another national 
championship to Baton Rouge and for making Louisiana proud.
