                         Monday, June 19, 2000

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to commend Nadia 
Shakoor of Springfield, IL for being selected as a finalist in the 
Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. She was one of 1,200 
students from over 40 countries who traveled to Detroit, MI to compete 
for more than $2 million in awards and scholarships.
  As a teacher myself, I want to recognize Nadia for her academic 
achievement. Her success has not come without hard work though. I 
applaud her for her motivation and desire to learn and grow.
  I wish Nadia the best as she continues her education. I know success 
will follow her wherever she may go.
