                   DETROIT PISTONS ARE ALIVE AND WELL

  (Mr. CONYERS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, this is not an insignificant matter I say 
to my colleagues.
  It should be noted that the San Antonio Spurs have lost five games at 
home until last night, and I bring this to the attention of the 
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith), my dear friend on the Committee on 
the Judiciary, that this is the first time that we have gone to seven 
games in 11 years, and no one has ever won their last two games in a 
national basketball championship on the road.
  So it is with bated breath that I let everyone know that the Detroit 
Pistons are alive and well and, I think, up to this incredibly 
important athletic contest tomorrow night.
