                     CONGRATULATING CHANCE McKINNIE

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Chance McKinnie for being named a Gates Millennium Scholar.
  Chance is a senior at Woodville Tompkins Technical and Career High 
School in Savannah, Georgia. Out of 37,000 students who applied for the 
Gates Millennium Scholars program, only 300 were accepted. Chance was 
one of those 300.
  The Gates Millennium Scholars program was established in 1999 to 
provide outstanding African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, 
Asia Pacific Islander American, and Hispanic American students with an 
opportunity to complete an undergraduate college education in any 
discipline they choose.
  Because of Chance's academic accomplishments, the Gates Scholars 
program will support his learning endeavors by covering the unmet cost 
of his college education.
  They will also provide renewable awards for satisfactory academic 
progress and provide Chance with funds for graduate school.
  Congratulations, Chance. I, and all of Georgia's First Congressional 
District, look forward to seeing where the future takes for you.
