 CONGRATULATING THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS ON THEIR VICTORY IN SUPER BOWL 
                                  LVII

  Mr. MORAN. Mr. President, for the second time in four seasons, the 
Kansas City Chiefs are the Super Bowl champions. Head Coach Andy Reid, 
Patrick Mahomes, and Travis Kelce cemented their Hall of Fame careers 
with another incredible season and Super Bowl LVII victory.
  I want to acknowledge Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and Chiefs president 
Mark Donovan for running an exceptional organization and building the 
foundation for this remarkable team.
  Chiefs Kingdom, ranging from Kansas to Missouri--and sometimes it is 
one of the few things that Kansans and Missourians agree on, or at

Kingdom, ranging from

Kansas to Missouri and all across the Midwest, has the best fans in the 
NFL, and I look forward to the fan base growing even bigger as the 
Chiefs continue their dynasty for many years to come.
  I congratulate Kathy Nelson with the Kansas City Sports Commission 
and Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas on a successful Super Bowl Parade 
that had an estimated 1 million people from Kansas and Missouri in 
attendance.
  Congratulations also to the training and medical staff from the 
University of Kansas Health System for getting the Chiefs players 
healthy and ready to win Super Bowl LVII.
  Kansas City will, again, be in the spotlight soon as we host the NFL 
draft this April.
  I look forward to showcasing what Kansas and Kansas City has to offer 
as we continue to grow our region.
  Congratulations to the entire Kansas City Chiefs organization.
  I yield to my colleague and friend, the senior Senator from Missouri.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Missouri.
  Mr. HAWLEY. Mr. President, I thank Senator Moran for the opportunity 
to say a few words and congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs and 
all of Chiefs Kingdom. I just want to add my words of congratulations 
to the Hunt family. To Clark and Tavia and all of their kids, thank you 
for your friendship, thank you for your tremendous leadership.
  I want to say congratulations to the president of the Chiefs, Mark 
Donovan, to Andy Reid, and I particularly want to add a word of 
congratulations to my friend Harrison Butker, who delivered the game-
winning kick, both in the AFC Championship and also in the Super Bowl. 
He had a tremendous, tremendous season. Of course, the entire team had 
a tremendous season. But, just on a personal note to Harrison, well 
done, man--as you would say, to the heights.
  So congratulations to all of the team, and I look forward to seeing 
this resolution and the memorialization of this victory entered into 
the Congressional Record.
  With that, I yield back to the Senator from Kansas.
  Mr. MORAN. I thank my colleague from Missouri.
