                        HONORING DETROIT PISTONS

  (Ms. KILPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, how about those National Basketball 
Association World Champion Detroit Pistons? Congratulations. We applaud 
and appreciate their fine work as they swept the Los Angeles Lakers. To 
Mr. Davidson, Coach Brown, and the entire Piston organization, job well 
done.
  Mr. Speaker, I say a special thanks to Ben Wallace, Tayshaun Prince, 
Rasheed Wallace, Rip Hamilton, and the Most Valuable Player of the 
series, Chauncey Billups.
  On behalf of Mayor Kilpatrick, the people of Detroit, and the entire 
State of Michigan, we congratulate the Pistons. A team effort--which is 
what life is all about.
  Mr. Speaker, as the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Conyers) mentioned, 
we have a resolution and invite all of our colleagues to cosponsor. You 
go, Pistons. We appreciate and love you very much.
