                      RECOGNIZING JENNIFER BAUMANN

  (Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Jennifer Baumann, a high school senior from my district who was named 
the recipient of the Good Citizen Award by the Illinois Daughters of 
the American Revolution.
  This year, over 400 high school seniors submitted essays for the DAR 
Good Citizenship scholarship application. Among these, district DAR 
chapters identified one student as the person who best exemplifies 
dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism in their area.
  Jennifer was selected from Mt. Zion High School as the representative 
for the Stephen Decatur Chapter and attended the Illinois State DAR 
Conference, where she was named the statewide winner of the Good 
Citizen Award.
  By all accounts, Jennifer demonstrates well the attributes of 
dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. She is active in 
nearly every aspect of student life in her high school, where she is 
the captain of all three of her varsity teams: cross-country, 
basketball, and track and field. She also serves as the President of 
the National Honor Society and treasurer of the Student Council, and 
even finds time to dedicate to volunteering with both the Key Club and 
her church.
  She plans to study speech, language, and hearing sciences at the 
University of Arizona in the fall.
  I am proud to recognize outstanding students in my district, 
including Jennifer. I congratulate her on this prestigious honor.
