     CONGRATULATING WINNERS OF CORPORATE-SPONSORED NATIONAL MERIT 
                              SCHOLARSHIPS

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I pay tribute to Kentucky 
students who have received corporate-sponsored National Merit 
Scholarships. The National Merit Scholarship Program presents this 
award to over 1,000 high school seniors and I am very proud that eight 
recipients of this award reside in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
  The corporate-sponsored scholarships are a partnership between the 
National Merit Scholarship Corporation and local companies who wish to 
support students in their communities. In order for a student to 
receive a corporate-sponsored scholarship the student must advance to 
the finalist level of the National Merit Scholarship competition and 
meet the criteria set forth by their individual corporate sponsor.
  The eight students from Kentucky who received this award are Meaghan 
M. Sanders of Assumption High School, Austin C. Brownlow of Kentucky 
Country Day, Allan J. Hsiao of DuPont Manual High School, Victoria 
Greenstone of Sacred Heart Academy, Matthew R. Seabold of St. Xavier 
High School, Elliott W. Rosenberg and Kyle R. Rosenberg of Paul 
Laurence Dunbar High School, and Matthew S. Miller of Beechwood High 
School.
  I hope my colleagues will join me in congratulating these students on 
their outstanding achievement. It is students like these who will 
provide Kentucky and the United States with our leaders of 
tomorrow.
