             CONGRATULATING WAYZATA'S TOP FINANCE STUDENTS

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate two Wayzata High 
School students for doing so well in the National Securities Industry 
and Financial Market Association Foundation's student essay 
competition. Tyler Carlstrom, a sophomore, placed second in the 
InvestWrite essay competition, and senior Megan Plummer placed fifth.
  The InvestWrite essay competition is a component of the stock market 
game that asks students around the country to analyze an investment 
scenario in 1,000 words or fewer. Tyler and Megan both used their 
analytical skills that they learned in their investments class at 
Wayzata High School, taught by their teacher, Candy Lee.
  Mr. Speaker, as a member of the Financial and Economic Literacy 
Caucus, I believe our youth need more opportunities to learn how to 
effectively manage money in order to plan and achieve their financial 
goals. Events like this certainly strongly encourage our students to 
learn the ins and outs of our financial and economic world views.
  Once again, Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate Tyler and Megan on 
their great opportunity and doing so well in this tough competition.
