                  NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS' SUPER BOWL WIN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RONNIE SHOWS

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 5, 2002

  Mr. SHOWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the New 
England Patriots' outstanding Super Bowl victory this past Sunday. It 
was undoubtedly one of the most exciting Super Bowl triumphs in recent 
memory.
  I commend the New England Patriots for the teamwork that enabled them 
to overcome the 17-17 tie score that held until the last seconds of the 
game. While the residents of New England deservedly claim pride for 
their winning team's feats, I am pleased that this team's success was 
also born from true Southern talent. Indeed, we are all Patriots.
  In Mississippi we are quite proud of the fine contributions to the 
New England Patriots from Bobby Hamilton, of Columbia, who attended my 
alma mater, University of Southern Mississippi. I also wish to commend 
Grant Williams, of Oak Grove and Clinton, Terrel Buckley of Pascagoula 
and Antowain Smith, former student of E. Mississippi Community College. 
These men are fine athletes and outstanding citizens and exemplify how 
to succeed through dedicated teamwork.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in paying tribute to the New England 
Patriots' triumphant success on Super Bowl Sunday.
