            CONGRATULATING THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS TIGERS

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, as most everybody in America knows, this is 
March Madness, and March Madness is a wonderful experience when people 
cheer for their basketball teams and watch great athletes compete for 
the national championship.
  One of the teams competing in San Antonio for the national 
championship will be the University of Memphis Tigers, my home 
university and my alma mater. We are extremely proud of the University 
of Memphis. And in Tennessee, it was 173 years ago that a great group 
of Tennesseeans, including my predecessor from the Western District of 
Tennessee, Davy Crockett, went to the Alamo. This time, Mr. Speaker, 
it's going to be a different story. Tennesseeans will win, have a 
victory in San Antonio, and your Congressman who is in the House will 
come back to the House.
