                   CONGRATULATIONS TO KEVIN MILLWOOD

  (Mrs. MYRICK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, thousands of boys in North Carolina's 9th 
Congressional District grow up dreaming about playing baseball in the 
big leagues. I rise today in honor of one of these boys, a young man 
who has made it to the top. Kevin Millwood, a 1993 graduate of Bessemer 
City High School, had a break-out season for the Richmond Braves in 
1997, and he was called down to Atlanta.
  He has been on a tear ever since. This year he led the Braves' 
pitching staff with an 11 and 5 record and was elected to the National 
League team for last year's All Star game. Up in Boston, he continued 
his dominance, pitching a scoreless inning in which he allowed one hit 
and then retired the side.
  So congratulations, Kevin. You are a positive example for young 
people to follow, and we sure are proud of you.
