Key Points

This resolution honors the 1960 University of Missouri football team for their perfect season. The team finished with 11 wins and no losses after winning the Orange Bowl against the Naval Academy.
The proposal highlights the team's dominant defense, which allowed only 59 points during the entire year. It also recognizes the leadership of head coach Dan Devine and star players like Danny LaRose.
This is a ceremonial action that does not change any laws or spend taxpayer money. It serves as a formal way for Congress to celebrate the athletic history and achievements of the state of Missouri.
