                          STRAIGHT-A STUDENTS

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I would like to take this 
opportunity to congratulate 4th grader Dallas Julianna Smolarek, 2d 
grader Candice Vaughn Smolarek, and kindergartener Brandon Tyler 
Smolarek for their outstanding academic success in the recent school 
year. All three students have received straight-A report cards and are 
on their way to success in school and all their personal endeavors.
  We all agree over the importance of a good education, and I am 
pleased to see such fine young students maintaining a strong desire to 
perform to the best of their abilities. No doubt a role model for their 
classmates, Dallas, Candice, and Brandon have assumed academic 
leadership paralleled by few others. On behalf of the U.S. Senate, 
congratulations to them and best wishes for their future 
success.
