WORLD SERIES
(Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Yesterday, I said there was going to be breaking
news, and there is breaking news. Does anyone know that the great
Houston Astros are in the World Series, and that this Congressperson
representing Minute Maid and the Houston Astros is saying they are in
it to win it?
Madam Speaker, I am challenging my sister from Georgia (Ms.
Williams), with Dusty Baker as a coach and stellar baseball people, for
some catfish and barbecue that you have never eaten before, against
those Atlanta Braves.
Ms. WILLIAMS of Georgia. Will the gentlewoman yield?
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from
Georgia.
Ms. WILLIAMS of Georgia. Madam Speaker, in Atlanta we are known for
making history and a little bit of good trouble.
As the home of Congressman John Lewis, the home of Hammerin' Hank
Aaron, who was an Atlanta Brave, we are ready to make history once
again and win this World Series, just like we won the first game last
night--and we will be ready with a nice southern soul food dinner.
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, I love it. Catfish and barbecue, yes,
Dusty Baker, and all of our ball hitters and Barbara Jordan. We are in
it to win it. Go Astros.
