  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Kimberly Sue 
Athie, a very special young woman who has exemplified the finest 
qualities of citizenship and leadership. She has been honored with the 
award of distinction as the first prize winner in the 2003 Nathan 
Burkan Memorial Competition for her paper ``Open Source Software 
Licenses: Tomorrow's Future? Are They Going to be Enforceable in 
Court?''
  The competition is conducted to enhance interest in the impartial 
study and analysis of copyright and related laws and is sponsored by 
the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers.
  Kimberly graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School 
of Law in May 2003, and received her undergraduate degree from Truman 
State University. While attending law school, Kimberly established 
herself as a well-rounded student by serving as a Westlaw Student 
Representative, Editorial Associate for Urban Lawyer, Academic 
Enrichment Teaching Assistant, was a member of Phi Alpha Delta, and by 
making the Dean's List.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Kimberly Sue 
Athie for her many achievements and in wishing her the best of luck in 
her future.
