             SALUTE TO DALLAS STARS, STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS

  (Mr. FROST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Dallas 
Stars, the 1999 NHL champions.
  The Stars electrified all of North Texas en route to winning the 
oldest trophy in sports, the Stanley Cup.
  Along the way, the champs gave us some unforgettable performances. 
Whether it was the clutch play of Center Mike Modano, the sparkling 
saves of veteran goalie Eddie ``the Eagle'' Belfour, the crushing 
defense of Captain Derian Hatcher, or the bravery of Brett Hull, who 
scored the Cup-winning goal, it seemed like every game a different Star 
player stepped up and inspired the team to victory.
  To all of the Dallas Stars, I say thank you on behalf of all Texans. 
You have shown the whole country that Big-D is more than just America's 
greatest football town.
  Mr. Speaker, the Stanley Cup was the first leg of what will be the 
1999 Texas hat trick. I am putting my colleagues on notice. Texas teams 
will end the century by winning, not only the Stanley Cup, but the NBA 
championship and the World Series as well.
  Congratulations again to the mighty Dallas Stars, 1999 Stanley Cup 
champions.
