                      STEVE, THIS SONG IS FOR YOU

  (Mr. SCHIFF asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Congressman 
Steve Israel and his beloved New York Mets after they defeated the Los 
Angeles Dodgers last week--and I will have no interest in extending my 
remarks. I lost a bet with Congressman Israel.

     So now, Steve, this song is for you:
     Meet the Mets,
     Meet the Mets,
     Step right up and greet the Mets.
     Bring your kiddies,
     Bring your wife,
     Guaranteed to have the time of your life;
     Because the Mets are really sockin' the ball,
     Knocking those home runs over the wall.
     East side, west side, everybody's coming down,
     To meet the M-E-T-S, Mets of New York town.

  Mr. Speaker, please tell me my time has expired.
  I don't want to give the impression I am not happy for the Mets. I 
am, really. I say: Thank God the Mets are going to the World Series--
and not the Yankees.
