                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

           COMMENDING THE GATTON ACADEMY OF MATH AND SCIENCE

 Mr. BUNNING. Madam President, I would like to take this time 
to congratulate the Gatton Academy of Math and Science in Bowling 
Green, KY.
  Newsweek magazine recently published a list of schools recognized for 
challenging students. Separate from the top 1,500 public high schools 
in the country, Newsweek magazine published its list of 15 schools 
known as the Public Elites. The Gatton Academy of Math and Science was 
one of the distinguished 15 members of this list and marks the first 
time a school from Kentucky has earned a spot among the Public Elites.
  The Gatton Academy of Math and Science is a selected group of high 
school juniors and seniors from around Kentucky who attend the Western 
Kentucky University. Their selection is based on test scores, grades, 
and submitted essays. Students in the program earn college credit at 
the Western Kentucky University in addition to completing their high 
school education.
  As a supporter of education, I appreciate the opportunity to 
recognize the performance of this great educational facility.
