  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, proudly rise today to congratulate Kristin 
Klenk, a science teacher from South Kingstown High School in the second 
Congressional District of Rhode Island. Ms. Klenk, a resident of Hope 
Valley, has been awarded the 2003 Presidential Award for Excellence in 
Mathematics and Science Teaching.
  Since 1983, the National Science Foundation has administered this 
award to exemplary math and science teachers, nominated from all 50 
states and four U.S. jurisdictions. Recipients are selected and 
recognized for leadership in the field of mathematics and science and 
serve as role models for their colleagues. Ms. Klenk, known for her 
hands-on teaching of science and active engagement of her South 
Kingstown High School students, has now been recognized as one of the 
best teachers in this country. For her dedication to teaching science 
to America's children and her service to Rhode Island, I thank Kristin 
Klenk and congratulate her on receiving this prestigious award.
