                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 8, 2000

  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize three 
young scholars from Fayette County High School in Fayetteville, 
Georgia: Ms. Crystal Bradley, Ms. Kim Dempsey, and Ms. Lauren Stoll.
  Their project, a five minute news story for the Aeronautics and Space 
Science Journalism competition sponsored by the NASA Student 
Involvement Program, focused on the F-22 Raptor Fighter, and the debate 
surrounding its funding. The report explained how the F-22 will be the 
backbone of American air dominance well into the 21st century. I was 
honored to play a very limited role in their project by participating 
in an interview.
  Their entry was selected a national winner. They were flown to 
Washington, DC for the National Symposium where they shared their 
project with the nation. I am pleased to acknowledge such excellence 
among our young people, and to recognize the outstanding leadership 
provided to them by Warren Bernard of Fayette County High School.
