                        Wednesday, July 9, 2003

  Mr. HYDE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend a young individual 
from my district who recently won the honor of ``Mayor for the Day'' of 
Elmhurst, Illinois. Miss Carly Hamilton, who is in Sixth Grade at 
Visitation Catholic School, won this honor by composing the following 
essay in 50 words or less:
  ``I love Elmhurst, the greatest city in the greatest country in the 
world because . . . Many people might think it's small, but to tell you 
the truth, it's not at all. Elmhurst has movies and ice cream and 
chocolates and books, from haircutters to house sellers, from schools 
to parks. So for me, Elmhurst is the place to be!''
