         CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DUKE UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mr. BUTTERFIELD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BUTTERFIELD. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate Duke 
University and its Division I men's basketball team on winning the 2015 
national championship. Duke's win against the University of Wisconsin 
at Madison marks their fifth national championship victory.
  At the team's helm is the winningest coach in Division I men's 
basketball history, legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski. We refer to him as 
Coach K. This year's team, led by senior Quinn Cook, continued the 
tradition of excellence in my district in Durham, North Carolina, by 
earning the 88th schoolwide NCAA tournament victory. Even more 
impressive, Madam Speaker, is the fact that the Duke University Blue 
Devils had five All-ACC Academic players, which is the most in the 
school's history.
  Today I introduced a resolution, along with my colleagues, to 
recognize the team for its extraordinary achievement. I urge quick 
consideration of my resolution and encourage my colleagues to support 
it.
  Madam Speaker, I ask all of my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating the Duke University Blue Devils on their historic 
tournament win.
