                         Thursday, July 1, 1999

  Mrs. WILSON. Mr. Speaker, I wish to bring to your attention the 
outstanding work of Carol Kreis. Ms. Kreis teaches at La Cueva High 
School in Albuquerque, New Mexico and was recently recognized 
nationally for helping her students to understand the U.S. economy 
better. The Security Industry Foundation honored her with a Teacher 
Recognition Award.
  Ms. Kreis and her students took part in The Stock Market Game, the 
nation's largest Wall Street educational simulation. Her students 
gained valuable economic experience and improved their math, writing, 
and social studies skills because of her. Ms. Kreis received a 
subscription to the Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition and the 
Classroom Edition to support the continuation of teaching finance, 
entrepreneurship and business.
  Mr. Speaker, we often hear that America's students are falling behind 
in competitive skills they need going into the next century. Carol 
Kreis' hard work will benefit students in our community now and into 
their future. Let us give her our recognition and thanks today.
