    KANSAS RECIPIENTS OF THE 1999 SCHOLASTIC ART AND WRITING AWARDS

 Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, it gives me extreme pleasure to 
have the honor of recognizing the Kansas recipients of the Scholastic 
Art & Writing Award. These nineteen students have excelled in the use 
of visual arts and the written word. This year's recipients are Matt 
Anderson, Ebony Blackmon, Mathew Calcara, Martha Clifford, Lisa 
Coogias, Audrey Dennis, Josephine Herr, Amy Kleinschmidt, Paris Levin, 
Angela Mai, Curtis Mourn, Nathan Novack, Cody Palmer, Hank Peltzer, 
Joanna Spaulding, Mattew Stewart, Adriene Swisher, Andrew Tanner, Sarah 
Wertzberger.
  To earn a Scholastic Art & Writing Award, these 19 students were 
chosen out of 250,000 applicants from across the United States, Canada, 
U.S. Territories, and U.S. sponsored schools abroad. Their talent 
illustrates some of the best work in student art and writing. These 
students should be commended, as should all those responsible for 
inspiring them and fostering their success.
  I congratulate all of the students on their success. As outstanding 
representatives of Kansas, their work well represents the youth of our 
State.
  Again, congratulations on your outstanding work and I wish you the 
best in all of your future endeavors.
