                      CONGRATULATING HILL'S ANGELS

  (Mrs. JONES of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, Members of Congress, good news. Last 
Wednesday, after 10 or 12 years of having the opportunity to play the 
Georgetown law faculty to raise money for the homeless, the 
congressional basketball team helped Georgetown raise $334,000 for the 
homeless. We are very pleased about that.
  But more importantly, after two overtimes and sudden death, the House 
of Representatives won the game. We are very pleased that we have such 
star players. With just 2.8 seconds left in regular time, our Member, 
Tim Ryan, got fouled on a three-pointer. The game was 39-36, he made 
all three shots, and we went into overtime. We went into another 
overtime; and finally the referee said, you are now going into sudden 
death. I am pleased to report that my son, Mervyn Jones, made the last 
shot in sudden death.
  Once again, the Hill's Angels beat the Georgetown Hoyas. And 40 
members of the page crew came along to cheer for us.
