                 TENNESSEE RESPECTEEN WINNER APPLAUDED

                                 ______


                           HON. DON SUNDQUIST

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 11, 1994

  Mr. SUNDQUIST. Mr. Speaker, it was my pleasure recently to meet with 
Tennessee's winner in the Respecteen ``Speak for Yourself'' contest, a 
young lady from my district named Sarah Smith. Sarah is an eighth 
grader at Christ the King Lutheran School in Memphis and lives with her 
parents, Jim and Judy Smith, in Germantown.
  Her winning entry in the contest, which encourages young people to 
express their ideas to elected officials, is a letter she wrote to me 
in support of congressional term limits. I thought she presented her 
case well, and I happen to agree with her conclusion.
  All of us ought to be grateful that there are young people like Sarah 
who value our form of participatory democracy and who believe in the 
importance of getting involved and making a difference. I salute Sarah 
Smith, Tennessee's winner in the ``Speak for Yourself'' contest, as 
well as all students who participated. And I thank the Respecteen 
program for this initiative.
