               HONORING WORLD CHAMPION EASTBANK ALL-STARS

  (Mr. SCALISE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SCALISE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Eastbank 
All-Stars from River Ridge, Louisiana, for winning the 73rd Little 
League World Series Championship.
  It is exciting any time that the United States competes against the 
world and wins and does so in such a classy fashion that represents the 
great values of this Nation. It is even more special that these young 
men from my district were the first in the State of Louisiana's history 
to win the Little League World Series.
  It was an exciting series for all of us. It captured the imagination 
of the people of Louisiana, especially to watch how these young men 
represented themselves and the rest of us in such a classy way as they 
competed against the nation of Curacao and ultimately delivered an 8-0 
victory for the United States.
  I, along with all of my colleagues from Louisiana, introduced H. Res. 
547 to formally congratulate these young men. They look forward to 
going to the White House to meet the President. He has extended the 
invitation.
  It is a great moment for Louisiana and a great moment for the United 
States, especially for River Ridge, Louisiana.
