RECOGNIZING IOWA EDUCATORS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE NATIONAL HISTORY DAY 
2004 SUMMER TEACHER INSTITUTE, POLITICS AND THE PRESS: THE INFLUENCE OF 
                          THE MEDIA ON HISTORY

 Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I would like to take a moment to 
congratulate two Iowa educators, Kelly Smith Arickx, a teacher at 
Rockford High School in Nora Springs, IA and Naomi Peuse, an educator 
at the State Historical Society of Iowa in Des Moines, IA. They were 
part of a group of 25 educators selected from across America to 
participate in the National History Day 2004 Summer Teacher Institute, 
``Politics and the Press: The Influence of the Media on History.'' The 
institute took place from July 25 to July 30, 2004, at the University 
of Maryland in College Park, Maryland.
  This select group of participants from across the country had the 
opportunity to work with prominent journalists and historians. They 
were exposed to an array of resources, including oral histories and 
discussions, learning about various primary source materials that can 
be incorporated into teaching.
  I am pleased to recognize Kelly Smith Arickx and Naomi Peuse for 
their accomplishment in having been selected to participate in the 
National History Day Summer Teacher Institute. I am proud to have had 
them representing my home State of Iowa.
