               HONORING FEDERAL RESERVE CHALLENGE WINNERS

 Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate five 
outstanding High School students from University School at Milwaukee. 
Working as a team, these five students were recently named national 
champions of the 1999 Federal Reserve Challenge.
  Mary Broydrick, Michelle Hill, Day Manoli, Nick Nielsen, all seniors, 
and Gus Fuldner, a junior, each received a $10,000 scholarship for 
their presentation on monetary policy. The team was coached by John 
Stephens, a teacher at University School for 41 years. In addition, the 
school received a $40,000 grant to develop an economics lab.
  Their winning presentation included countless hours researching 
economic and monetary policy. Making recommendations based on their 
findings, the team was asked a series of grueling questions by Federal 
Reserve officials.
  We are all extremely proud of our students from University School. 
They must be applauded for a job well done.


                      Tribute to Ila Marie Goodey

 Mr. HATCH. Mr. President, I would just like to take a moment 
to pay tribute to Ila Marie Goodey of Logan, Utah. I have just learned 
that Ila passed away on Saturday.
  Ila was a tireless and effective advocate for individuals with 
disabilities and served as an early and active member of my Utah 
Advisory Committee on Disability Policy. I have always appreciated her 
counsel on these issues.
  In particular, she believed in independence and self-sufficiency, and 
she directed as much of her energy to assisting others to reach this 
goal as she did to helping herself. She served as the first chairperson 
of the Utah Assistive Technology Program Management and Implementation 
Board. This consumer-responsive, interagency program has been hailed 
nationwide as a model for other programs of its kind.
  I know that her friends and colleagues at Utah State University and 
among the disability community in my state will mourn her loss. But, I 
also know that they, as I do, appreciate all that she has contributed. 
There can be no doubt that Ila has made a real difference.
