                        Thursday, April 3, 2003

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, last week the Auburn University 
swim team dominated the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships by 
winning the men's national title.
  The Tigers routed their nearest competitors by 196.5 points and 
qualified 11 swimmers for the championship finals and four more for the 
consolation finals. This was the men's team third national title ever.
  But the men were diving on the heels of the Auburn women's swim team, 
who during the previous week, won their first-ever National 
Championship.
  Mr. Speaker, these young men and women symbolize the strength of the 
human spirit and the joy of achievement. Let us congratulate them for 
their victories by acclaiming together in the House: ``WAR EAGLE!''
