                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                    TRIBUTE TO MARGARET ANN HOFFMAN

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I pay tribute to Margaret Ann 
Hoffman of Walton, KY on being recognized as one of America's top 
principals in the 2003 National Distinguished Principal Program by the 
U.S. Department of Education.
  The annual National Distinguished Principals Program was established 
in 1984 to honor elementary and middle school principals who set high 
standards for the pace, character, and quality of the education their 
students receive.
  Ms. Hoffman, a principal at Fort Wright Elementary School, in 
Covington, KY, has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education 
for her tireless work in exhibiting excellence at Fort Wright 
Elementary School and has made outstanding contributions to the 
Covington community. Ms. Hoffman sets an example of excellence for the 
rest of the faculty, and the faculty follows that example. She inspires 
her students to achieve academically and contribute to the community.
  I know ask my fellow colleagues to join me in thanking Margaret Ann 
Hoffman for her dedication and commitment to the education of America's 
future. In order for our society to continue to advance in the right 
direction, we must have principals like Margaret Ann Hoffman in our 
schools, and communities, and lives. She is Kentucky at its 
finest.
