                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

              HONORING ALLISON CHURCH OF CORBIN, KENTUCKY

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I ask my colleagues to join 
me in honoring the most recent accomplishment of Allison Church of 
Corbin, KY.
  Allison, a junior at Corbin Independent High School, has been chosen 
as one of only 350 students nationwide to be a participant in this 
year's National Youth Leadership Forum on Defense, Intelligence, and 
Diplomacy, which will take place later in February right here in our 
Nation's capital. Allison earned this distinction based upon her 
excellent academic record, extensive involvement in extracurricular 
activities, and expressed interest in a career related to national 
security. I commend Allison for her strong commitment to her studies, 
school, and country's protection.
  After the horrific attacks perpetrated on September 11, 2001, I can 
see no better time than the present for our nation's youth and future 
leaders to be learning about the importance of such topics as 
international diplomacy, defense, and intelligence. I believe Allison 
will learn valuable political and social tools which she will carry 
with her for the rest of her life. I thank Allison for proudly 
representing Corbin Independent High School and the entire Commonwealth 
of Kentucky.
