            LINCOLNSHIRE GRAD WINS BIOTECHNOLOGY SCHOLARSHIP

 Mr. SIMON. Mr. President, I want to congratulate Daniel 
Ryklin, a senior at Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, IL, 
who won a $1,500 scholarship for his essay entitled ``How Will 
Biotechnology Affect the Lives of Individuals in the 21st century 
Through Medicine.'' Daniel plans to use the scholarship to attend 
Northwestern University this fall.
  The winning essay was chosen from among 130 submissions from 29 
different high schools located in 17 States. In addition to Daniel, 
seven other students received scholarship awards. The purpose of the 
competition was to encourage young people to learn more about the field 
of biotechnology, particularly how biotech applications do and will 
affect our lives. Students were asked to focus on one of these three 
areas: health care, agriculture, and the environment.
  All of us in Illinois are proud of Daniel Ryklin for his 
achievement.
