                     CONGRATULATING KANSAS JAYHAWKS

  (Ms. JENKINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. JENKINS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the University 
of Kansas men's basketball program and to congratulate them on a 
tremendous accomplishment. Yesterday, the Jayhawks defeated Texas Tech 
to pick up their 2,000th victory. The only other schools to reach this 
milestone are the University of Kentucky and North Carolina, and it 
should be noted that the basketball arenas at both of those schools are 
named after native Kansans and former Kansas basketball players. From 
James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, to the legendary Forrest 
``Phog'' Allen, to current coach Bill Self, KU is a proven perennial 
power in college basketball.
  This year, the Jayhawks will compete for their sixth national 
championship. In commemoration of this impressive accomplishment, I ask 
my congressional colleagues in the Congress to join me in a hearty, 
Rock Chalk Jayhawk, go KU.
