     IN HONOR OF THE GREEN BAY PACKERS AND THEIR SUPER BOWL VICTORY

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Wisconsin asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute the 
Super Bowl champions, the Green Bay Packers, who are in the Nation's 
Capital today as we prepare in this Chamber to debate a balanced budget 
agreement, the first in a long time; another long road to success will 
be celebrated here at the White House this afternoon as the champions 
of the football world meet the champions of the free world.
  From Lambeau to Lombardi to Holmgren, from Bart Starr to Brett Favre, 
it has been 29 years since the Green Bay champions, the Super Bowl 
champions, the Packers, have once again returned the Lombardi trophy to 
its home, Green Bay, WI.
  Behind this great tradition of winning are the fans, affectionately 
known as the Cheeseheads. They are in fact the owners of the Green Bay 
Packers. They have raised money to keep the team in the community, 
built a new stadium, sold out Lambeau Field for every game since the 
Packer's first Super Bowl victory.
  May the grand tradition of the Super Bowl Green Bay Packers continue. 
I ask my colleagues to salute the Green Bay Packers, America's original 
``America's Team.''
