                         TRIBUTE TO CHAD BENHAM

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Chad Benham of Brandenburg, KY. Recently Mr. Benham has been named as 
the national winner of the Agricultural Mechanics Energy Systems-
Entrepreneurship/Placement Proficiency Award for the Future Farmers of 
America.
  The Proficiency Awards recognize achievement by students who have 
excelled in developing specialized skills that will apply toward a 
career goal in agriculture. The awards also consider community service 
and leadership activities of a student.
  The citizens of Brandenburg, KY are fortunate to have Mr. Benham 
living and learning in their community. His example of hard work and 
determination should be followed by all in the Commonwealth of 
Kentucky.
  I would like to congratulate Mr. Benham for his success. But also, I 
want to congratulate all his peers, teachers, administrators, and his 
parents for their support and sacrifices they have made to help Mr. 
Benham reach his goal and fulfill his dreams.
