            CONGRATULATING LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY TIGERS

  (Mr. ABRAHAM asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. Speaker, I am here to congratulate the LSU Fighting 
Tigers for winning the national championship last night, the fourth 
national championship, a record-setting year, 15-0, 726 points. Joe 
Burrow is the Heisman Trophy winner, a record-breaking quarterback with 
60 touchdowns this year.
  LSU alumni are especially proud of what they did last night in the 
national championship.
  I was honored to fly down with President Trump to attend the game. 
The cheers and standing ovation he got in the Louisiana Superdome was 
just phenomenal and well deserved, the fifth time the President has 
been to Louisiana this past year, and rightly so. Our State leads with 
seafood, oil and gas industry, forestry, and agriculture. You name it, 
we have got it in Louisiana, and we are very, very proud.
  This football team, our baseball team, and our other sports lead the 
Nation and will continue to do so.
  Please join me in congratulating the LSU Fighting Tigers football 
team for winning the national championship last night.
