                        UNIVERSAL LITTLE LEAGUE

  (Mr. FARENTHOLD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FARENTHOLD. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to honor, today, a group of 
hometown heros from Corpus Christi, Texas, the Corpus Christi Universal 
Little League team.
  Universal made it to the Little League World Series this year in 
Williamsport, Pennsylvania, after they won the Southwest Regional 
Tournament. These young men showcased their talents on an international 
stage, defeating teams from Australia and Canada.
  They received a grand welcome back to Corpus Christi along Shoreline 
Boulevard with a parade, where my district director, Bob Haueter, 
presented them with a flag flown over the United States Capitol and a 
letter of congratulations from me. They are an inspiration to young men 
and women throughout Texas and America.
  This summer they saw and demonstrated that hard work pays off. It's a 
feeling I know they will carry with them for many years to come.
  Way to go, Universal.
