                        TRIBUTE TO HOLLY WARLICK

  (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 pay tribute and offer my 
congratulations to my friend Holly Warlick. Holly was inducted this 
past weekend into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in our hometown 
of Knoxville, Tennessee.
  Holly was the first athlete, male or female, to have her number 
retired at the University of Tennessee. She was a star point guard and 
4-year starter for the Lady Vols from 1977 to 1980. She was placed on 
the U.S. Olympic team that year and later played in the first women's 
professional basketball league.
  For the past 16 years, she has been an assistant coach to the great 
Pat Head Summit, and the Lady Vols basketball team has won many 
national championships and is always ranked among the Nation's top.
  Holly Warlick is an inspiration to young girls and women everywhere 
and one of our finest citizens. I congratulate her on a well-deserved 
honor, her induction into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.
