        CONGRATULATING OWENSBORO CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SIXTH GRADE

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I congratulate the Owensboro 
Catholic Elementary sixth grade Future Problem Solving Team of 
Owensboro, KY. The Future Problem Solving Team recently earned the 
State championship in their division, placing first out of about 50 
teams. They went on to compete at the international conference in 
Colorado and placed 22nd out of 55 teams.
  The Future Problem Solving Program is a nationally recognized, award-
winning program that seeks to increase awareness for the future and 
encourage creativity in students of all ages.
  Over 50,000 students participate in the competitive components 
associated with future problem solving and community problem solving. 
Of these, less than 3 percent earn an invitation to the prestigious 
international event.
  I congratulate the Owensboro Catholic Elementary sixth grade Future 
Problem Solving Team for their achievement. The administrators, 
teachers, parents, and students of this team are an inspiration to the 
citizens of Kentucky. I look forward to all that the Future Problem 
Solving Team accomplishes in the future.
