                                 ______


                        HON. ROBERT A. UNDERWOOD

                                of guam

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 14, 1996

  Mr. UNDERWOOD. Mr. Speaker, I have always considered myself an 
educator first and foremost. This is why I always welcome with great 
pleasure students who take the time to visit my office. Sometime this 
month, I highly anticipate meeting a student from Guam. He is Scott 
Knudson, the winner of this year's Guam Geography Bee.
  On March 29, finalists from 12 elementary and middle schools competed 
in this event open to students from grades four to six. Since Scott was 
the winner of the competition, he will be representing the island of 
Guam in the National Geography Bee competition that will be held here 
in Washington on May 28 and 29.
  Scott, the son of Marilyn Knudson and the late Kenneth Knudson, is a 
sixth-grade student at Inarajan Middle School. His achievements have 
brought much pride to his family, school and community. I am sure that 
all his hard work will once again be exhibited in the national 
competition.
  I would like to congratulate Scott for winning the Guam Geography Bee 
competition and wish him the best in the national competition. In 
addition, I would also like to commend all who participated in the 
competition and recognize the efforts of Mr. James Szafranski for 
organizing this year's event. I urge everyone to keep up the good work.
