         CONGRATULATING NICKELODEON AND THE WOLFF-DRAPER FAMILY

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, during Read Across America Week, I went to 
Lincoln Elementary School in Memphis, Tennessee, and we read our 
favorite book, ``Green Eggs and Ham.'' I asked the young people if they 
ever watched C-SPAN, and they looked at me quizzically. Then I asked 
them if they ever watched Nickelodeon, and

they all raised their hand and cheered. I said, ``Which show do you 
watch the most?'' They watch ``The Naked Brothers Band.''
  The Naked Brothers Band is a show on Nickelodeon that has been an 
award winner starring Nat and Alex Wolff, produced by their mother, 
Polly Draper, and co-produced by their father, Michael Wolff. It is the 
``Ozzie and Harriet,'' the Nelson brothers of the 21st century, and it 
shows that there is good television that gives kids good values and 
teaches them about the environment and how to be good young people and 
grow up to be great Americans.
  So my congratulations to the Nickelodeon Network and to the Wolff-
Draper family and Nat and Alex.
