                           SPUTNIK ON DISPLAY

  (Mr. SHAYS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHAYS. Members of the House, 50 years ago on Thursday, the 
Russians launched a tiny moon into space called Sputnik. They built 
seven satellites, one they launched which burned up as it came back to 
Earth. One of them is right outside the main entrance on the way to 
Statuary Hall.
  I would invite Members to take a look at what shook the world 50 
years ago and got us to wake up. Sputnik is right on the way to 
Statuary Hall.
