CONGRATULATIONS TO TEXAS RANGERS, CHAMPIONS OF AMERICAN LEAGUE WESTERN 
                                DIVISION

  (Mr. PETE GEREN of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. PETE GEREN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, the Texas Rangers are the 
champions of the American League West. I know I speak for all of Texas 
when I say congratulations to the Ranger players, coaches and 
management.
  I particularly want to make mention of my friend Tom Schieffer, the 
managing partner of the Rangers. Under his leadership, the team has 
given us the magnificent ballpark at Arlington and now has filled the 
park with a champion. We wish you the best as the playoffs begin.
  Texas Rangers, you are champions. Thank you for a great year.
