                         Thursday, May 7, 1998

  Mr. BOB SCHAFFER of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, within Larimer County, 
Colorado, my home county, reside some of the best and brightest young 
people in the state. Twelve of them were appropriately honored by the 
Fort Collins Coloradoan newspaper as 1998 Leadership and Academic All-
Stars, and I would like to honor them here today.
  Out of 67 teenagers nominated for the awards by teachers, parents and 
neighbors, these 12 stood out as particularly deserving of recognition: 
Loring Pfeiffer, Ryan Johnson, Robert ``Bobby'' Mosiman and Bret 
Peterson from Rocky Mountain High School; Elizabeth Leon and Steve 
Foster from Thompson Valley High School; Caitlin Devereaux, Yue Xu and 
Tiffany Yaussi from Poudre High School; Daniel Salas from Fort Collins 
High School; Samuel Severance from Loveland High School; and Scott 
Wilkinson from Windsor High School.
  Besides academic achievement, the criteria for Academic All-Star 
status includes excellence in leadership and community involvement. 
These future leaders of our community, state, and country are truly our 
greatest hope for a stronger nation. Please join me today in paying 
them tribute.
