                 TRIBUTE TO LINDA POTTER AND BILL KIRK

 Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize two 
outstanding educators from Kansas. Linda Potter and Bill Kirk were 
selected to receive Time Warner's distinguished Crystal Apple Award, 
which is given to 15 educators selected from around the nation.
  Linda and Bill were selected from a pool of more than two million 
teachers from around the nation on the basis of their exceptional work 
as educators. It is hard to overestimate the importance of caring and 
dedicated teachers such as Linda and Bill. Teachers invest their time, 
talent and knowledge into our nation's students, thereby shaping the 
minds of our future leaders.
  It gives me great pleasure to acknowledge Linda's and Bill's 
extraordinary work in education. I congratulate Linda and Bill and wish 
them continued success.
