   CONGRATULATING DIVISION I-AA NATIONAL CHAMPION APPALACHIAN STATE 
                              MOUNTAINEERS

  (Mr. COBLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, the frigid unforgiving winds that normally 
blow across the Blue Ridge Mountains during the months of winter are 
blowing less brutally and less severely today. For on this day, these 
winds sweep across the campus of Appalachian State University, home of 
the National I-AA champions of intercollegiate football.
  I attended Appalachian State, Mr. Speaker, and I know I speak for 
many in the Congress and many congressional staffers as well in 
conveying hearty congratulations and best wishes to Chancellor Peacock, 
Coach Moore, and the entire Appalachian community.
  Mr. Speaker, I join you in enthusiastically declaring, Go 
Mountaineers from Appalachian State.
