       CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DENVER BRONCOS: SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS

  (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. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute 
to the winners of Superbowl XXXII, the World Champions of football, the 
Denver Broncos.
  I expected to be here discussing how the Lombardi Trophy would once 
again be making its home in Titletown.
  That aside, let me say that this year's Superbowl left no football 
fan disappointed. It was a nail-biter of a game that was decided with 
only 32 seconds left on the clock, leaving those of us from northeast 
Wisconsin scratching our collective cheeseheads wondering what went 
wrong.
  So today, I give my best version of the mile-high salute to John 
Elway, to Terrell Davis, and to the entire Bronco team. Congratulations 
on a well-earned victory. I guess those of us in Green Bay will only 
have to console ourselves with three Superbowl trophies, and 
congratulate Denver on this moment of glory.
  Let me also say to the people of Denver that they are extremely 
fortunate to have a Congresswoman who fights as hard for her 
constituents as do the Broncos, the gentlewoman from Colorado (Ms. 
DeGette), a lifetime Bronco fan and, like her team, a champion.
