                                 ______


                        HON. THOMAS M. FOGLIETTA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 4, 1994

  Mr. FOGLIETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to salute Philadelphia's Youth 
Ambassador, Jamie Knight, of the 6800 block of North Broad Street in my 
district. Jamie is a 10 year old, fourth grade honor student at the 
Ellwood School in the East Oak Lane section of Philadelphia where she 
is a straight A student.
  Jamie is carving a name for herself as the city's fastest rising jazz 
star. Jamie's magnetic personality and electrifying performance skills 
have brought her fame as winner of the 1994 Junior Vocalist of the Year 
Award on Ed McMahon's internationally acclaimed TV show ``Star 
Search''. Additionally, she has mesmerized the crowd at the historic 
Apollo Theater, dazzled the audience at the Philadelphia Jazz Festival 
and the Cape May, NJ, Jazz Festival, and owned the stage in 
performances at Carnegie Hall and on ABC's ``Good Morning America'' 
show.
  Jamie's parents, Darlene and James Knight, have a long history in 
show business themselves, and have raised a daughter who is a shining 
role model to her peers. She is bright, talented, studies hard, and has 
a great future ahead of her. I stand with her friends, family, and the 
city of Philadelphia in embracing Jamie and proclaiming our great pride 
in her.
