  Mr. OTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to draw the attention of the 
House of Representatives to an individual from my district whose 
creativity and vision have brought due accolades to both herself and 
the great State of Idaho.
  Christy Reid was chosen out of the Nation of fifth graders as the 
winner of the National Arbor Day Poster Contest. Her beautiful artwork 
will now represent the National Arbor Day Foundation all year long. She 
has been honored in our home state of Idaho, in Nebraska City--the home 
of Arbor Day--as well as in Washington, DC.
  Not only is Christy's artistic talent on display in the posters, but 
she also had the honor of planting a tree in the National Botanical 
Gardens. As this tree grows, surely so will Christy's talent and her 
excellent representation of the many things that Idaho has to offer. I 
hope the House will join me in acknowledging Christy's achievement.
