  CONGRATULATIONS TO HOUSTON SOLAR RACE TEAM ON WINNING WINSTON SOLAR 
                               CHALLENGE

  (Mr. WICKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WICKER. Mr. Speaker, as we prepare to debate national energy 
policy, a solar-powered car race which concluded yesterday calls 
attention to the uses of alternative energy sources.
  The Winston Solar Challenge is an educational competition among high 
school teams from across our Nation. The winner will compete in the 
world competition this November in Australia.
  This 8-day race covered a 1,400 mile course from Texas to Indiana. 
The competition concluded late yesterday with the winning team 
finishing more than 271 miles in front of their closest competitor. I 
am immensely proud that the winner of this race is from the city of 
Houston, Mississippi, located in my district.
  Under the guidance of advisers Danny Lantrip and Keith Reese, the 
team includes Captains Trey Ellison, Andy Goode, and members Daniel 
Black, Clay Bishop, Adam Duncan, Marshall Faulkner, Chris Free, Jason 
Mallone, Josh Moore, Casey Smith, Nikkie Smith, Bryan White, Jimmy 
Jones, and Jeannie Moore.
  Congratulations to the Houston Solar Race Team on an extraordinary 
performance and a job well done. The city of Houston, Chickasaw County, 
the entire State of Mississippi, and now the United States of America 
are proud of you.
