  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, today I proudly commend Hannah Wright of 
St. Paul, Minnesota for being selected as a 2002 Presidential Scholar. 
I am happy to welcome Ms. Wright and her parents to Washington, D.C. 
for a week of recognition, including a medallion awards ceremony. Since 
1964, distinguished high school seniors from around the United States 
have been recognized as Presidential Scholars for their academic 
achievement, community involvement, artistic expression, and leadership 
skills. Ms. Wright is an outstanding example of the talented young 
people we will rely on to guide our nation in the future. It is my 
distinct pleasure to congratulate Ms. Wright and St. Paul Academy and 
Summit School on receiving the 2002 Presidential Scholar Award.
