                      Wednesday, February 11, 2004

  Ms. HART. Mr Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate The Carnegie Science Center, one of four Carnegie Museums 
in Pittsburgh, for being named one of the three recipients of the 2003 
National Awards for Museum Service, the country's highest honor for 
extraordinary community service provided by a museum. The Carnegie 
Museums empowers the residents of Western Pennsylvania with knowledge 
in the fields of science and technology.
  The team at The Carnegie Science Center is truly committed to their 
surrounding communities. On January 22, 2004 it was honored in The East 
Room of The White House by First Lady Laura Bush for their dedication. 
Those present at the ceremony to receive the award were: Mareena 
Woodbury-Moore, a ninth grade student at Scheneley High School in 
Pittsburgh and also a standout participant in Mission Discovery--
Carnegie Science Center's outreach program. Mareena was joined by 
Joanna E. Haas, director of The Carnegie Science Center, and Howard J. 
Bruschi, Chairman of the Carnegie Science Center board of directors.
  Since 1994, The Carnegie Science Center has run neighborhood programs 
that educate local residents, of all ages, about the advantages of 
technology. Their hard work and dedication has made the city of 
Pittsburgh a better place.
  I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me in 
commemorating the efforts of The Carnegie Science Center to improve the 
quality of life in the City of Pittsburgh. It is an honor to represent 
the Fourth Congressional District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to 
recognize the leadership of The Carnegie Science Center.
