               GOODLETTSVILLE LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM

  (Mrs. BLACK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACK. From a small town in middle Tennessee, 13 young men 
recently became the 2012 Little League World Series U.S. Champions. 
These All-Stars from Goodlettsville, Tennessee, played with 
sportsmanship and talent beyond their years. In the U.S. championship 
game, Goodlettsville racked up 21 runs to become the first Tennessee 
team in history to clinch a U.S. title. This achievement is a testimony 
to their dedication and perseverance--qualities that will serve them 
well throughout their life.
  They have made their hometown, their parents, their coaches, and 
their Congressman very proud. I am confident that this achievement is 
just the beginning of more great things to come from each of them.
  Congratulations, boys.
