                      CONGRATULATING BRYCE HARPER

  (Ms. TITUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TITUS. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate my constituent Bryce 
Harper on being selected by the Washington Nationals as the first 
overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft.
  Harper, a native of southern Nevada, who is just 17 years old, led 
the College of Southern Nevada and the Scenic West Athletic Conference 
in virtually every offensive category. In recognition of his 
outstanding performance, he was the SWAC 2010 Player of the Year and 
was named to the First Team AWC All-Conference team. During the 2010 
season, he set a CSN school record for home runs. He belted 31, 
shattering the previous record of 12.
  So, Madam Speaker, I look forward to welcoming Bryce to Washington 
and watching him play just down the street as he stars for the 
Nationals for years to come.
