  Mr. HALL. Mr. Speaker, I am honored today to recognize Sammy Clegg, 
Chelsea Schneider and Daniel Sagrero as the 2004 winners of the 
Treasures of the Texas Coast Children's Art Contest.
  As part of the Texas Adopt-A-Beach program, the ``Treasures of the 
Texas Coast'' art contest is open to Texas students grade K-6. Hosted 
annually by the Texas General Land Office, the core objectives of the 
contest are to encourage young artists while promoting the cause to 
keep Texas beaches clean. This year's winners, Chelsea Schneider and 
Daniel Sagrero of Lee Intermediate School in Gainsville, Texas, and 
Sammy Clegg of Rowlett Elementary School in Rowlett, Texas, masterfully 
demonstrated those objectives.
  Each young artist beautifully displayed the concept of keeping Texas 
beaches clean by using an elaborate and colorful palette. The winning 
artwork was displayed in the Capitol Building in Austin, Texas, as well 
as compiled into a statewide calendar for all to see. Mr. Speaker, I 
would like to extend congratulations to these outstanding students.

                          ____________________
