'cause i had always been swept away by the work of ronnie gilbert, the woman singer in the weavers. and we just went uphill from there. the weavers had a great combination of both hedonism on the lee hays side all the way through the social responsibility and the powerful singing and into the total aesthetic, almost amish approach of pete seeger to life. so i was talking to ronnie about it once be

paulsen: mr. speaker, i rise to congratulate the eden prairie high school boy's hockey team on winning the a.a. state championship. it's the team's second state title in three years. the eden prairieles were well matched in the game against the duluth east greyhounds. with the game heading into triple overtime, the eagles came out on top 3-2. this game would actually prove to be the longest game championship game in the 67-year history of the minnesota state hockey tournament. i also want to recognize eden prairie senior kyle who was named minnesota's mr. hockey by a group of ncaa division i coaches and nhl scouts. there's no doubt that kyle's 41-season goals including five in the state tournament played a strong role in the eagles' championship victory. so congratulations to coach smith and eden prairie student athletes. we're all very proud of you. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from georgia rise? >> thank you, mr. spe
