                        Thursday, June 28, 2001

  Mr. LUCAS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Bulter, Kentucky's Phillip A. Sharp Middle School. At a time when our 
nation is faced with a troubling energy crisis, the students of Phillip 
A. Sharp Middle School serve as a fine example for our youth. Their 
school was recently selected as the Middle School of the Year by the 
National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project, and they will 
attend the National Youth Awards Program for Energy Achievement here in 
Washington, D.C.
  I am pleased to see young people take an interest in energy issues. 
They are learning early in life the importance of energy production and 
conservation. What I find even more impressive is the fact that they 
are taking what they have learned and, through the NEED Project's 
``Kids Teaching Kids'' approach, passing it on to other interested 
students. This kind of leadership from our middle schoolers means great 
things for Kentucky's future.
  I congratulate Phillip A. Sharp Middle School on their recent award, 
and I thank them for their hard work and for setting a fine example for 
students across the United States. They are on the right track, and I 
wish them continued success.
