                            MIAMI HURRICANES

  Mr. NELSON of Florida. Mr. President, yesterday at the time of what 
we call a quorum call, what others in the street lingo might say is a 
recess, I took to the floor and with levity in my words spoke about 
some of the recent college bowl games, of which the State of Florida 
played such a prominent part, having three of our major teams in major 
bowls, all three of which were successful.
  I am going to take the occasion today of offering a resolution for 
the national champion, the national champion, University of Miami 
Hurricanes, in college football. It is now a university that is quite 
accustomed to national championships, having won so many of them in the 
past, but it is now a university that is led by a person who is near 
and dear to the hearts of many in Washington, including the Presiding 
Officer. Dr. Donna Shalala is the new President.
  She took over the reigns in June of the University of Miami. She has 
been so well accepted so quickly and is so loved in the Miami 
community. And then no sooner does she take the reigns and is so 
immediately successful in her leadership of the university, but that 
her team wins the national championship undefeated for the season.
  I thank the Chair for the opportunity.
