                  HOPES FOR SUBWAY SERIES STILL ALIVE

  (Mr. MEEKS of New York asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. MEEKS of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning to give my 
deepest condolences to my good friends and colleagues from the State of 
Massachusetts. Last night, the New York Yankees did in the Boston Red 
Sox. We apologize for not doing it in four, but we did it in five to 
get you out of your misery.
  And to my good friends in Atlanta, we know that you do not want to 
return to New York, so the Mets will make sure of that, for you gotta 
believe, the Mets in seven. The World Series, my dear friends, will be 
in New York, either in Queens or the Bronx. See you all next weekend.
