     CONGRATULATIONS TO AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SPORTS MEDICINE ON NEW 
                      HEADQUARTERS IN INDIANAPOLIS

  (Ms. CARSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. CARSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the American 
College of Sports Medicine on the completion of a vast new addition to 
its headquarters building in Indianapolis.
  In the early 1980s, Indianapolis' corporate leaders and city 
officials advanced a visionary plan to make the city the amateur sports 
capital of the Nation.
  We have had immense support from the corporate community in 
Indianapolis. On December 15, 1983, Mayor William Hudnut broke ground 
for the ACSM National Center, which has become one of the anchor 
projects of the Canal area redevelopment. He referred to it as ``A 
cornerstone in the Amateur Sports Capital.''
  Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the American College of Sports 
Medicine on the completion of a vast new addition so that it would be 
able to advance the immense amount of work that it has done in terms of 
sports medicine.
