  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Miss Elsbeth Williams 
of Fort Collins, Colorado. Elsbeth has been selected to be a member of 
the prestigious performance organization, The Sound of America Honor 
Band and Chorus. For this, Mr. Speaker, the United States Congress 
commends Elsbeth and wishes her the best of luck.
  Throughout Elsbeth's high school career she has been a member of the 
wind ensemble, symphony orchestra, marching band, and choir programs. 
In addition, Elsbeth is also a member of the Colorado State Honor Band, 
Larimer County Youth Festival Orchestra, and the Colorado All-State 
Band. Elsbeth has demonstrated a commitment to musical achievement, 
leadership and service to her school. As a result of her hard work and 
dedication, Elsbeth was chosen to become part of The Sound of America 
Honor Band and Chorus.
  This summer, Elsbeth will join the esteemed performance organization 
for its 2002 European Concert Tour of six European Countries.
  As a citizen of Colorado's Fourth Congressional District, Elsbeth 
Williams is truly a positive role model for the youth of America. She 
not only makes her community proud, but also her state and country. I 
ask the House to join me in extending our warmest congratulations to 
Miss Elsbeth Williams.
