                         Monday, March 19, 2012

  Mr. DUFFY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the career and 
accomplishments of Mr. Doug Sutherland, an alumnus of the University of 
Wisconsin--Superior.
  Doug is one of the most accomplished athletes in the history of the 
school and was recently named to the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic 
Conference (WIAC) All-Time Team in football. He has also been chosen 
recently as a member of the inaugural class of the WIAC Hall of Fame.
  In 1970, Doug was chosen in the 14th round of the NFL Draft by the 
New Orleans Saints. He went on to have a 13-year career with the 
Saints, the Minnesota Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks. He appeared in 
three Super Bowls with the Vikings and, in 2010, was named one of the 
50 greatest Vikings.
  In addition to distinguishing himself on the football field, Doug was 
a six-time conference champion in track and field throwing events and 
participated in three National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics 
meets.
  Again, Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to help recognize Doug's incredible 
athletic record and ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating 
him on his accomplishments.
