                     CONGRESSIONAL BASKETBALL GAME

  (Mr. MOORE of Utah asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MOORE of Utah. Mr. Speaker, rest assured, House of 
Representatives, that the basketball trophy will be back in our Chamber 
for another year.
  Congratulations to the Members of Congress for defeating the Downtown 
Lobbyists two nights ago. We took it to them.
  The civil servants of our society took it to Downtown. A big 
congratulations to the Members of Congress for defeating them.
  This is an awesome event that we do. It supports Hoops for Youth, a 
big charity that goes to help youth sports, along with many of the 
other sporting activities that we do.
  Just to finish it off, I congratulate and particularly recognize our 
captain and this year's MVP, retiring Member Brad Wenstrup. Can we get 
a round of applause?
  You may hear rumors from Downtown that it required Enes Freedom, 
formerly Enes Kanter of the NBA, to help our team win, but that is 
unsubstantiated. We could have beaten them on our own.
