     CONGRATULATING NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY ON FCS NATIONAL 
                              CHAMPIONSHIP

  (Mr. CRAMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the North 
Dakota State University Bison and head coach Craig Bohl on winning 
another FCS national championship on January 5 this year in Frisco, 
Texas.
  NDSU is well known as a student-focused, land grant research 
university with more than 14,000 students, offering over 100 majors, 
covering everything from architecture, pharmacy, food science and 
engineering, to business, biotechnology, music and interior design.
  The victory over Sam Houston State was the Bison's second consecutive 
national championship, an accomplishment even more impressive when 
considering the Thundering Herd became a Division I program only 8 
short years ago. I look forward to following the Bison on many more 
championship runs and am pleased that Coach Bohl has agreed to a multi-
year contract extension rather than pursuing a career in politics.
