                 REPUBLICANS WIN HOUSE BASKETBALL TITLE

  (Mr. OXLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to announce the results of 
the basketball game last night between the Republicans and the 
Democrats at Gallaudet University: 35-26, the Republicans prevailed. 
Try to curb your enthusiasm.
  It was a wonderful game in the tradition. This is the 12th game in 
the series.
  I want to thank our players, particularly Shimkus, Ferguson, 
LoBiondo, Hulshof, Wamp, Fossella, Stearns, Flake, Dent, Ensign. Mr. 
Speaker, we actually had two Senators, Ensign and Thune. The good news 
was, of course, they are former House Members and they were trained the 
right way in basketball.
  Gallaudet University is a great university, of course, the only 
school for the deaf in the entire country. We want to thank the NBA for 
helping sponsor this wonderful event.
  I want to thank my counterpart, Ron Kind, the captain of the 
Democratic team for their efforts. It was all for a good cause, and we 
are proud to display the trophy for this day on our side.
  Thank you very much.
