                       HONORING COACH NICK GIEBER

  (Mr. WATKINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WATKINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Kansas Middle School 
wrestling coach Nick Gieber. To be clear, he is not dead. He is way too 
tough for that.
  For decades, Coach Gieber would transform boys into men through 
wrestling practices that were so hard we thought that death was an 
option. But it wasn't just developing us mentally and physically, he 
also developed a sense of camaraderie, rapport, integrity, and honor. 
He would say, ``You never know, boys. Today could be the most beautiful 
day in the world.''
  Coach Gieber, from the floor of the United States House of 
Representatives, thank you. And you never know, today could be the most 
beautiful day in the world.
