  Mr. BLUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of my constituent, Ann 
Johnson, a recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in 
Mathematics and Science Teaching.
   This prestigious award is administered by the National Science 
Foundation on behalf of the White House Office of Science and 
Technology Policy and recognizes outstanding teachers across the 
country for their contributions to the teaching of mathematics and 
science. Ms. Johnson was awarded the Presidential Award for Excellence 
in Mathematics and Science Teaching for her dedication and work at the 
Sageville Elementary School in Dubuque, Iowa.
   Teachers like Ann enable students to realize their potential and 
pave the path for the next generation of doctors, engineers, and 
innovators. On behalf of the Dubuque community and the First District 
of Iowa, I sincerely thank Ann for her commitment to educating our 
children in mathematics and science.
   Congratulations on this impressive award. I am proud to represent 
Ann, an extraordinary educator, in Congress.
