         THE GOOD WORK OF FOUR BIG TIMBER GRADE SCHOOL STUDENTS

 Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, I am very proud today to tell my 
colleagues in the Senate about four students from my home State of 
Montana: Ariel Overstreet, Amber Overstreet, Lindsey Hauge, and Taylor 
Gray. These young Montanans won first place in two separate NASA-
sponsored national contests. Ariel took first place in the 
Intergalactic Art Contest in which she had to draw an original piece of 
art. Amber, Lindsey, and Taylor made up a team that took first place in 
the Future Aircraft/Spacecraft design competition. I congratulate them 
on their achievements.
  These students have proven what most of us in Montana have known all 
along. Montana students are some of the brightest and best educated 
students in the country. And while we are proud of our students, we 
know that a lot of the credit must go to devoted teachers like Rolland 
Karlin and concerned parents like Anne Overstreet. These are the people 
behind the scenes who make sure that the education our children receive 
is top-notch.
  Ariel, Amber, Lindsey, and Taylor are now visiting Washington, as 
part of their award. I was pleased to have a chance to meet them. They 
are fine representatives of Montana and their community of Big Timber.
  Later on in their trip, these four youngsters will be visiting NASA's 
space camp. I hope that the opportunity to view NASA technology up 
close will feed their active minds.
  Congratulations Ariel, Amber, Lindsey, and Taylor. I hope you enjoy 
your trip. And that you never lose your desire to achieve your 
dreams.
