          CONGRATULATING LSU ON WINNING NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

  (Mr. RICHMOND asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RICHMOND. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a group of 
young men who had an excellent undefeated season at LSU and won the 
national championship.
  I also rise to congratulate Coach Orgeron for his leadership in 
shaping not only those young men on the field, but off the field also.
  I also take great pride, Mr. Speaker, in recognizing one outstanding 
individual on that team, his name is Grant Delpit.
  Grant Delpit was my first batboy at the congressional baseball game. 
Last year he was the unanimous All-American, and this year he caused a 
fumble in the national championship game. But more importantly, his 
parents, a lawyer, law enforcement, and his grandmother serves on the 
board of a charter school in my district. They are an exceptional 
family.
  Mr. Speaker, we have a commitment that when we see our young people 
doing well that we recognize them and congratulate them. So, to all of 
the outstanding young men at LSU for winning the national championship, 
and to Grant Delpit for excelling in the classroom, off and on the 
field, I just want to say congratulations, we recognize you. And good 
luck in whatever you do in your future.
