                     CONGRATULATING KANSAS JAYHAWKS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I, too, recognize that the Senator from 
Kansas is on the floor today. I have to admit I was pulling for Kansas 
because they were very lucky in beating UNLV to get where they are. As 
a result of their good fortune the night they beat UNLV, I have been 
pulling for them since. Had it not been for the bad night UNLV had, 
they may not have made it. All the men on Kansas are 6 feet 5 inches; 
they are virtual giants. They won and it is a good day for Kansas. I 
acknowledge it is the first time Kansas has won in 20 years. They have 
a great basketball legacy and I wish them many years of good fortune in 
the future and congratulate Senator Roberts and the Kansas Jayhawks for 
their great victory last night.
