     CONGRATULATING THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ON WINNING SUPER BOWL XLV

  (Mr. ALTMIRE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. ALTMIRE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to fulfill my side of a 
friendly wager with my good friends in the Wisconsin delegation to 
commemorate the Green Bay Packers on winning Super Bowl XLV.
  Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was flawless, throwing for more than 300 
yards and three touchdowns without an interception to earn Super Bowl 
MVP honors. And despite playing much of the game without injured stars 
Charles Woodson and Donald Driver, the Packers never trailed, and ended 
their season by winning the trophy named after the franchise's most 
storied coach, Vince Lombardi.
  In winning Super Bowl XLV, current Packer coach Mike McCarthy, a 
Pittsburgh native, led Green Bay to its 10th NFL championship, the most 
of any NFL franchise since the league first initiated a playoff system 
in 1933. Again, I offer my congratulations to the Green Bay Packers.
