           CONGRATULATING RICO TYLER AND CYNTHIA HILL-LAWSON

  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I am pleased to have this opportunity today 
to recognize Rico Tyler and Cynthia Hill-Lawson, two secondary school 
teachers from the Commonwealth of Kentucky who were recently presented 
with Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science and Mathematics 
Teaching.
  As you may know, the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science 
and Mathematics Teaching Program was established over a decade age to 
recognize and reward outstanding teachers and to encourage high-quality 
educators to enter and remain in the teaching field. Both Rico, in his 
work with the astronomy program at Franklin-Simpson High School, and 
Cynthia, who teaches math at Beaumont Middle School in Lexington, have 
demonstrated that they are committed to providing a quality education 
to their students. I am very proud of them--as I am sure their friends, 
colleagues and family are--for they represent the triumphs in our 
educational system that often go unheralded.
  Again, Mr. President, I congratulate Rico and Cynthia for this 
tremendous achievement and wish them many more years of success in the 
classroom.
