  Mr. RAVENEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute my constituent, Mrs. 
Patsy Pye of Summerville, SC, who is the 1994 recipient of the National 
Distinguished Principal Award from the National Association of 
Elementary School Principals and the U.S. Department of Education. Mrs. 
Pye is a 1969 graduate of Charleston Southern University. After 6 years 
of classroom teaching she became an assistant elementary school 
principal. Since 1987 she has served as princpal of Oakbrook Elementary 
School in Dorchester County which just last year received the 
``Palmetto's Finest'' Award, was also named one of Redbook magazine's 
``America's Best Schools,'' and now will be receiving the ``Blue 
Ribbon'' Award. Naturally it is with a sense of pride that I recognize 
this exceptional leader and educator, Mrs. Patsy Pye.
