  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize a delightfully 
artistic five-year-old of Rochester, New York. Lata' Brione Foster has 
been selected, out of 83,000 entries, to win the Grand Award in the 
58th Annual Traffic Safety Poster Contest sponsored by AAA.
  The poster contest encourages students from Kindergarten through High 
School to create a poster concept that encourages correct behavior in 
pedestrian, bicycle, and driving techniques. The program promotes 
creativity and teaches students the importance of traffic safety. Miss 
Foster's poster will be used in the association's national safety 
campaign for the next year.
  The first kindergartner from Western New York to win a Grand Award, 
Lata' will receive a $500 savings bond from AAA. Lata' is also being 
honored in Washington, DC on May 3rd through 7th for Traffic Safety 
Week. She had the pleasure of being the Grand Marshall in the annual 
Safety Patrol Parade down Constitution Avenue on May 4th.
  On behalf of the 28th district of New York, I congratulate Lata' 
Brione Foster for her hard work on such an innovative piece of art. 
Lata' has received a wonderful accolade and we all truly wish her many 
more in the future. I am sure that this is not the last time we will 
hear of young Lata' doing magnificent things.
