  Mr. BAKER of California. Mr. Speaker, in June, a very talented young 
woman from my district in California will be traveling to Washington to 
receive a major literary award. Alison Gavrell will receive the Silver 
Award at the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards National Exhibition at 
the Corcoran Gallery of Art for her short story, ``Don't Believe 
Everything You Read.''
  This prestigious program, which honors talented young writers and 
artists from across the Nation, is designed to encourage some of 
America's finest and most gifted students in the pursuit of excellence. 
Alison plans to read from her story at the Library of Congress 
Saturday, June 17, and will be part of the ceremony and recreation for 
all national award winning students at the Corcoran the following day.
  Alison, a student at the Dorris-Eaton School in Walnut Creek, 
deserves high praise for her diligence, self-discipline, and 
creativity. My congratulations also go to her parents, Elaine and 
George Gavrell, and her teacher, Ms. Deeni Schoenfeld for their 
contributions to Alison's signal achievement. It is a pleasure for me 
to recognize Alison in the Congressional Record.
