               CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS

  (Mr. ALTMIRE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. ALTMIRE. Mr. Speaker, to paraphrase an old NFL films episode, 
there are 31 teams in the National Football League, and then there are 
the Pittsburgh Steelers. By winning their NFL record sixth Super Bowl 
this past Sunday, the Steelers have now truly gone where no team has 
gone before.
  I want to congratulate the Rooney family, especially team owner Dan 
and president Art Rooney, the architects of yet another championship 
team. Head coach Mike Tomlin now goes down in history as the youngest 
coach to ever win a Super Bowl. And while every player played a role, 
special congratulations go out to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who 
engineered one of the greatest clutch drives ever, linebacker James 
Harrison, who scored on the longest play in Super Bowl history, and 
game MVP Santonio Holmes, whose spectacular touchdown catch sealed the 
win.
  Congratulations again to ``Six-Burgh'' and fans across the Steelers 
Nation.
