                            CSU-WYOMING GAME

  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I would like to take this opportunity to 
thank my colleague from Colorado for his outstanding sportsmanship and 
for recognition of this great rivalry between two universities that are 
part of the Western Athletic Conference, a conference that is coming 
into its own and being recognized nationally. We are certain that 
because of rankings of two of the teams, and probably three of the 
teams, they will be in the NCAA National Tournament. There are a lot of 
kids out there who are well deserving of being in that. They are fierce 
competitors. Of course, this is one of the old rivalries of basketball. 
They have been isolated by being in the far West for a long time, and, 
as a result, have enjoyed playing each other because of what is a close 
proximity out there. Just being an hour's transportation away is quite 
a feat in the far West.
  Both schools have outstanding basketball teams. But I would be remiss 
if I didn't mention the outstanding schools that these basketball teams 
represent, particularly a portion of the school at Fort Collins that 
Senator Allard is a graduate of, the veterinarian school, which is 
world renowned. But both schools have a number of schools that are well 
recognized throughout the United States and around the world. We hope 
that kids take a look at both universities when they are interested 
attending in school.
  Again, I thank my colleague for his gracious comments about the 
University of Wyoming. The kids there appreciate it.
  I yield my time.
  Mr. CHAFEE. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. JEFFORDS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
