 HONORING CHAMPIONSHIP SOCCER TEAMS FROM 16TH DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA

  (Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTS. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor two more championship 
soccer teams from my district, the Downingtown Whippets and the West 
Chester Henderson Warriors.
  The Downingtown varsity boys triple A soccer team are the 1999 
Pennsylvania State champions. These young athletes from a traditional 
sports powerhouse worked hard to build themselves into a trophy-winning 
team. I want to congratulate them on their success.
  The Henderson varsity girls triple A soccer team holds the State 
girls championship. These ladies have continued a tradition of winning 
for Henderson. They have been State champs 4 out of the last 5 years. 
Two years ago they not only won Pennsylvania but were ranked number one 
in the Nation.
  I am proud to say that both of these outstanding teams are from 
Chester County, Pennsylvania. They will be here tomorrow to receive the 
congratulations of many.
  So three teams, Octorara boys double A, Downingtown boys triple A and 
Henderson girls triple A, all from my congressional district, 
congratulations. You have made Chester County proud.
