  THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS CONGRATULATES THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, I just want to join in congratulating the 
University of Louisville on their success.

  The University of Louisville has long been a rival of the University 
of Memphis. But this past year or so, the Louisville basketball coach, 
Rick Pitino, was good enough to champion the University of Memphis' 
getting into the Big East Conference. It was support we needed and 
support we appreciate. The conference isn't quite the same as it was 
when he did that, but it was a good thing to do.
  We have a great rivalry, and I think we need to support our rivals 
and thank Coach Pitino for his helping the University of Memphis get 
into an additional conference, and we hope that the rivalry between the 
University of Louisville and the University of Memphis continues for 
many more years to come.
