                     TRIBUTE TO JESSICA K. VAUGHAN

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I rise to congratulate Miss Jessica K. 
Vaughan of Bowling Green, KY. Miss Vaughan was recently selected by the 
Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States to receive the Patriot's 
Pen scholarship award. This scholarship program is a youth essay 
contest that gives middle school students from across the Nation the 
opportunity to articulate their views on democracy.
  Miss Vaughan, an eighth grade student, was selected to receive this 
award based on her essay entitled ``Does Patriotism Still Matter?'' I 
wish to congratulate Miss Vaughan on her hard work, perseverance and 
dedication.
