         13TH DISTRICT OF FLORIDA CONGRESSIONAL ART COMPETITION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAN MILLER

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 26, 2002

  Mr. DAN MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
the winners of the Congressional Arts Competition--particularly to 
congratulate Tracey Allnutt of Sarasota Florida, a senior at Riverview 
High School. Next year she will be attending the Ringling School of Art 
in Sarasota in pursuit of a degree in art history.
  A panel of judges from my congressional district evaluated the 
contestants' work and from this pool of contestants Tracey's was 
selected as the winner. Her work of art symbolizes the rising and 
enduring faith and patriotism of America's youth in the wake of the 
events of September 11th. It is fitting that this artwork will be 
displayed in our nation's Capitol.
  I would like to use this time to honor Tracey and the other winners 
of the Congressional Arts Competition and encourage the youth of our 
nation to continue their patriotic enterprises and artistic endeavors.

                          ____________________
