               JAKE MANGUM AWARDED C SPIRE FERRISS TROPHY

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize an outstanding athlete from 
the State of Mississippi. Jake Mangum is Mississippi State University's 
center fielder who has recently led the Bulldog baseball team to its 
fourth straight Super Regionals and second straight College World 
Series.
  Jake ranks fourth on the all-time NCAA hits list with 380 hits. 
During the regular season, Mangum earned a 375 batting average, scored 
65 runs, and totaled 95 base hits, the most in the Southeastern 
Conference. Achievements of this magnitude come only with discipline 
and determination, characteristics that all Americans should strive to 
promote in their everyday lives.
  I would like to congratulate Jake on this impressive accomplishment 
and thank him for 4 great years at Mississippi State.
  I wish him and the Bulldogs the best of luck in Omaha.
  Hail State.
