  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, as Teacher Appreciation 
Week draws to a close, I want to especially commend those teachers, in 
my district and throughout the country, who make the extra effort to 
bring history, math, English, science, and other subjects, alive.
  One example of that extra effort made by teachers throughout the 
country is Linda Stephenson, Bill Mulligan and Carols Lopez who have 
brought 42 students from Upland Junior High History Club in my district 
to learn about history and civics here in the Nation's Capital. They 
could have stayed back in California and taught from textbooks, but 
instead they made the effort to fly 3,000 miles with 42 junior high 
students to make the subject matter come alive.
  Those are the kinds of teachers you remember into adulthood. I 
commend those dedicated American teachers who make what they teach come 
alive for their students.
