                 CONGRATULATIONS TO TENNESSEE LADY VOLS

  (Mr. DUNCAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Tennessee 
Lady Vols on once again becoming the national champions of women's 
collegiate basketball. This is an unprecedented third national 
championship in a row for Coach Pat Head Summitt and her staff and 
players.
  Led by a young woman who has already been described as the greatest 
women's basketball player ever, Chamique Holdsclaw, the Lady Vols went 
39 and 0 on the way to the national championship.
  Coach Pat Head Summitt has now won an unbelievable six national 
championships and is considered one of the top basketball coaches of 
all time, male or female.

  The dedication, the determination, the discipline of these young 
women is truly amazing. This is my hometown team, representing one of 
my alma maters, so I am especially proud of this outstanding group, but 
they have made all of Tennessee very proud, indeed.
  Coach Pat Head Summitt, her assistants, Mickie DeMoss, Holly Warlick, 
Al Brown, and the Tennessee Lady Vols are great representatives for the 
sport of basketball and for this Nation.
