NORMAN Y. MINETA of california in the house of representatives Thursday, May 26, 1994 Mr. MINETA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding achievements of the San Jose State University Judo Team. These student athletes have won the university's 30th National Collegiate Judo Championship in 33 years, a feat that is unprecedented in collegiate athletics. They are to be commended for this accomplishment. It is indeed rate to see such dominance by one university in any sport. The judo team at San Jose State University has proven over the years that it is our Nations best. The commitment, dedication, and hard work displayed by these young athletes should serve as an inspiration to us all. Since 1946, the judo teams at San Jose State University have been under the tutelage of Yoshihiro Uchida. ``Yosh'' is a businessman and humanitarian known around the world. Over the years, Yosh has built a dynasty of not only successful athletes, but successful students as well. He is certainly a model of individual contribution and devotion. Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell served as Yosh's team captain in 1956 and 1957. The Senator captured a gold medal in the 1963 Pan American games, and was a member of the first United States Olympic judo team for the Tokyo game sin 1964. He helped begin a tradition of excellence in judo at San Jose State University which endures today. Again, I offer to the San Jose State University Judo Team my sincere congratulations for more than 30 years of unparalleled success and best wishes for the future. ____________________
