 MATTHEW LORENZO: AWARD WINNER IN THE PENNSYLVANIA FEDERAL JUNIOR DUCK 
                 STAMP DESIGN CONTEST PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA

                                 ______


                      HON. WILLIAM F. CLINGER, JR.

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 23, 1994

  Mr. CLINGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Matthew 
Lorenzo, of Punxsutawney, PA, for his award-winning artwork in the 
Pennsylvania Federal Junior Duck Stamp Design Contest.
  This art contest, sponsored through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service, gives students the opportunity to demonstrate their artistic 
abilities while simultaneously learning about, and promoting, 
environmental conservation.
  The State Junior Duck Stamp Program is an extension of a program that 
many of us may be familiar with: the Federal Duck Stamp Competition. 
The annual Federal contest, sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service, selects winning artwork which ultimately becomes the Federal 
Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp--commonly referred to as 
the Duck Stamp.
  Matthew Lorenzo, an 8-year-old student at Saints Cosmas and Damian 
School, proved an aptitude for combining science and art by taking the 
first place award in the Junior Duck State Design Contest. Through 
Matthew's outstanding achievement, he brings honor to both his 
elementary school and the town of Punxsutawney.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to recognize Matthew on the occasion 
of winning first place in his age group in the Pennsylvania Federal 
Junior Duck Stamp Design Contest. This young artist and conservationist 
deserves our congratulations for a job well done.
