  Mr. TANCREDO. Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate Ms. Karen 
Brown, an outstanding school teacher from Littleton, Colorado. Ms. 
Brown, who teaches at Coronado Elementary School, was recently named a 
recipient of the 2006 Milken Family Foundation National Educator Award. 
The award program is one of the most prominent in the United States.
  Honoring teachers, principals and specialists from across the nation, 
recipients are chosen based on such criteria as effective instructional 
practices, student learning results and educational accomplishments as 
well as their potential for leadership within the field. Ms. Brown 
joins a network of more than 2,200 Milken Educators who have been 
honored by the program since 1985.
  In addition to a $25,000 individual award, Ms. Brown also attended 
the annual Milken National Education Conference in Los Angeles, 
California from the 21st to 24th of April.
  Ms. Brown should be commended for her commitment to community and her 
contributions to education in Colorado. I wish her all the best in her 
future endeavors.
