                       Thursday, December 6, 2007

  Mr. TANCREDO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate an 
outstanding steward and teacher in my district, Mr. Daniel Uyechi of 
Sierra Middle School in Parker. This year, Mr. Uyechi has been awarded 
the title and honor of a Milken National Educator for his efforts to 
expand the knowledge and livelihoods of his students. His efforts have 
undoubtedly made positive impacts among his students, helping them lay 
the foundations for a successful and rewarding future.
  The Milken National Educator Awards are annual monetary gifts given 
to individual educators nationwide for their remarkable achievements 
both in and outside of the classroom. Chosen by an independent 
commission appointed by each State's department of education, these 
awards highlight and celebrate the successes of a handful of America's 
most distinguished and prominent educators. I am honored that I have 
the opportunity to represent one of these fine citizens.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in congratulating Mr. Uyechi and 
wishing him the best in his future endeavors.

                          ____________________
