                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

             HONORING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF ALLISON HAMMER

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I pay tribute and congratulate 
Allison Hammer of Summer Shade, KY, on being named a distinguished 
finalist for the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. This award 
honors young people in middle level and high school grades for 
outstanding volunteer service to their communities.

  Allison Hammer has proven herself to be an ideal volunteer. While she 
is only 14 years old, she has already done more volunteer work than 
many people will do in their whole life. After two of her friends were 
killed in an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) accident, she took it upon 
herself to start a 75-person ATV safety camp for the youths of Monroe 
County. In this excellent effort she recruited volunteers and raised 
the funds to make this camp a success.
  The citizens of Monroe County are fortunate to have a young woman 
like Allison Hammer in their community. Her example of dedication, hard 
work and compassion should be an inspiration to all throughout the 
entire Commonwealth.
  She has my most sincere appreciation for this work and I look forward 
to her continued service to Kentucky.
