                    TRIBUTE TO J. MARI LYNN THOMPSON

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I invite my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating J. Mari Lynn Thompson from Sacred Heart 
Academy, Louisville, KY, for receiving the Achievement Award in 
writing. This year only 525 students around the country were recipients 
of this award.
  The Achievement Award in writing is given to students who show 
excellence in English and writing. To be eligible for the award, 
students must submit a previously written paper and then be invited to 
participate in a timed essay.
  J. Mari Lynn Thompson has shown great analytical and writing skills 
in her submitted paper. I am impressed by the excellence she has 
displayed, and I am confident that she will have success in greater 
challenges in the future.
  Mr. President, I would like to thank J. Mari Lynn Thompson for her 
contribution to the Commonwealth of Kentucky and wish her the best of 
luck in her future endeavors.
