                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. TAMMY BALDWIN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 6, 2000

  Ms. BALDWIN. Mr. Speaker, today I congratulate the University of 
Wisconsin men's basketball team for their outstanding season and their 
advancement last weekend to the NCAA Final Four.
  The Badgers demonstrated outstanding teamwork and sportsmanship at 
the Final Four. Not since 1941 have the Badgers advanced so far in the 
NCAA tournament. While they may not have scored more points than 
Michigan State, they played with heart and spirit. In doing so, they 
proved to everyone that they have what it takes to win a National 
Championship in the future. I applaud Dick Bennett and this exemplary 
team for an amazing season and a truly monumental tournament.
  The Badgers are a clear illustration that perseverance, 
determination, and hard work can take you to great places. The games 
over the past season have brought together the University of Wisconsin, 
evoked strong school spirit, and shown to everyone how thrilling it is 
to be a Badger! It has been an outstanding year for the Badgers and as 
an alumna it is exciting to be a part of something so special. I 
commend the basketball team and look forward to many exciting seasons 
to come!
