                                 ______


                        HON. FORTNEY PETE STARK

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 28, 1994

  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to take a few minutes to 
recognize Miss Megan Moore's outstanding academic accomplishments, 
culminating in her selection as 1 of the 120 presidential scholars for 
1994.
  Through the years, Megan has distinguished herself as an stellar 
student and committed community volunteer. Her academic activities have 
ranged from attending the 1993 Research Science Institute at MIT, where 
she wrote a treatise on the population dynamics of topologically 
distributed systems, to cultural exchanges in Japan and France. Megan 
has been recognized with scholarships among various departments of her 
high school in areas such as social studies and science. In 1993, she 
was accepted to UC Berkeley's Accelerated High School Student Program 
and was a finalist in the Telluride Association Summer Program.
  Her talents also include the field of music, where she has 
established herself as a principal cellist in the Youth Orchestra of 
Southern Alameda County and as a student at the San Francisco 
Conservatory of Music.
  She also has a gift for sports. She has set records within her 
swimming league for the 50-yard breaststroke, 50-yard backstroke, and 
100-yard individual medley. She has excelled in cross-country running, 
competing in regional and State championships.
  Megan has worked equally hard to give back to her community. In the 
summer of 1991, she served as a volunteer at a local public library; 
from 1991 to 1992 she served in a local animal shelter, and during 
1992-93 she volunteered at Kaiser Hospital in Walnut Creek, CA in the 
maternity and emergency room departments.
  On July 1, 1994, Megan will be honored at an afternoon ceremony for 
the presidential scholars and their teachers at the White House, during 
which President Clinton will present her and her colleagues with 
medallions signifying their accomplishments. I would like to join with 
those who have recognized Megan for her lifelong commitment academic 
study and community service and her outstanding abilities as artist and 
athlete.
  Megan will be attending Williams College this fall and will be missed 
by all of her friends and advisers that she leaves behind. I wish her 
much happiness and success in all of her future endeavors.
