                             HON. VIC FAZIO

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 22, 1994

  Mr. FAZIO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the middle 
school students chosen to participate in the 12th annual California 
Central Valley Spelling Bee. These top spellers were selected from over 
160,000 students from throughout Sacramento, Placer, Yolo, El Dorado, 
Nevada, Sutter, Solano, Colusa, and Yuba Counties to compete in this 
regional competition.
  I want to commend each one of them for the time and commitment that 
they have invested learning many difficult words. I praise their hard 
work and dedication in preparing for this event and wish them all the 
best of luck. With these principles, these students of Central Valley 
are taking the first steps toward building a strong foundation for 
their education. This spelling competition installs in these young 
adults the love of learning that will take them through high school, 
college, and beyond.
  I cannot conclude without applauding the parents and teachers, and 
the coordinator of this event, Ms. Molly Evangelisti, for their support 
of these youngsters' endeavors. Their backing will encourage these 
bright students to strive for the academic excellence and the bright 
future that lies just ahead of them.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to 
join me today in honoring the accomplishments that the California 
Central Valley Spelling Bee represents, past and present, and I 
personally extend my congratulations on the winning efforts of all the 
participants.
