                  CONGRATULATIONS TO U.S. SOCCER TEAM

  (Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Madam Speaker, as a less-than-proficient 
soccer player, and probably a less-than-proficient soccer fan, let me 
also add my accolades to the United States soccer team. There are 
millions of soccer players in the United States, Little Leaguers, and 
large soccer clubs. Let us applaud our U.S. soccer team for its good 
sportsmanship and its outstanding accomplishment of reaching the 
quarter finals.
  I hope all Members recognize that sometimes it is lonely to play far, 
far away from the United States; but those young men have done an 
outstanding job. Congratulations, and we wish them the best as they go 
forward to the next level. I believe we may just be the winners.
