                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 4, 2003

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of Elvis Hernandez in 
recognition of his outstanding accomplishment in this year's 75th 
Precinct Council Spelling Bee competition.
  Elvis is currently in the fifth grade at Blessed Sacrament in 
Brooklyn, New York. He finished in first place in the spelling bee.
  Mr. Speaker, Elvis Hernandez has demonstrated that he is committed to 
his academic studies and is an excellent speller. As such, he is more 
than worthy of receiving our recognition today and I urge my colleagues 
to join me in honoring him and his accomplishment.
