                             LYLE SENDLEIN

  Mr. Reid. I want to make one brief correction in the statement I gave 
this morning--not a correction, an addition. I talked about National 
Football League players and how they are not treated right, the old-
timers who have been hurt playing professional football.
  I talked about someone I went to high school with by the name of 
Rupert Sendlein, who was a fine high school football player. But his 
son was an All American at the University of Texas, played many years 
of professional football.
  What I said this morning is that his grandson, Rupert's grandson, 
Lyle, was also a star All-American football player at the University of 
Texas. What I failed to mention is he started a number of games this 
year for the Phoenix Cardinals. He is much bigger than his father and 
his grandfather. He is 6 feet 6 inches, weighs 310 pounds, and is also 
a professional football player. I want the Record to reflect that I 
forgot to mention he was playing professional football.
