                     MINNESOTA LYNX BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mr. ELLISON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. ELLISON. Mr. Speaker, allow me to congratulate the Minnesota Lynx 
Basketball Team. This wonderful basketball team has won three titles in 
5 years. This is the great sports story of our time.
  I would like to just let the Minnesota Lynx, their coach, and all 
their fans know that we are incredibly proud of them. We celebrated, 
and we had a victory parade.
  We had all those things happen, but the truth is that this is women's 
basketball. It is high quality, and it is excellent. It shows girls 
that women are excellent athletes, and it shows boys the same thing. 
This is great for our whole country and great for our community in 
Minnesota.
  We are proud of the Minnesota Lynx.
  Do you know what? I want to know if they can win another one next 
year. I wouldn't put it past them.
  Go Minnesota Lynx.
