                     Wednesday, September 24, 2003

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Dallas Texans 
'85 Girls Red Soccer Team on winning the 2003 United States Youth 
Soccer Association Girls Under-18 National Championship on July 27, 
2003 in Germantown, Maryland.
  The team was formed in the fall of 1995 and includes members from 
cities throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Over the past eight 
years of its existence, the team has won numerous nationally recognized 
tournaments including State Championships in 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2002, 
and Regional Championships in 1999 and 2000. They qualified this year 
for the National Championship by winning the State Championship and 
then winning the Regional Tournament in Greensboro, North Carolina. 
They are to be commended for their dedication and achievements. I 
believe the Dallas Texans '85 Girls Red Soccer Team has represented 
North Texas very well.
  Once again, I want to express my congratulations to Dallas Texans '85 
Girls Red Soccer Team on a job well done.
