                       UVA FINAL FOUR APPEARANCE

  (Mr. RIGGLEMAN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RIGGLEMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
University of Virginia Cavaliers, who advanced to the Final Four of the 
NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament last Saturday night.
  Down three points with less than 6 seconds left, the Cavaliers, with 
what was one of the most exciting plays I have seen--because I am an 
alum--scored to tie the game and force overtime. This gave them an 
extra 5 minutes of life, an opportunity they seized, on the way to a 
historic victory.
  It is as a proud alum that I congratulate Coach Tony Bennett and the 
team on reaching the program's first Final Four since 1984. A 
tremendous accomplishment for sure, but there is still business to 
attend to on the court.
  I also wish the Cavaliers the best of luck this weekend. For sure, I 
will be here again in short order after they beat Auburn and win the 
National Championship game.
  Go Hoos, and Wahoowa.
