                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                        TRIBUTE TO KIM GREENWOOD

 Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. President, each spring, women from across 
the Volunteer State gather to vie for the title of Miss Tennessee USA. 
Those who shine brightest earn the privilege of competing for Miss 
USA's coveted crown; but more importantly, they set an example for 
young women in their own communities.
  For 30 years, my friend and fellow Tennessean Kim Greenwood has 
mentored scores of dreamers seeking their place in this family of civic 
leaders. As executive director of the Miss Tennessee USA and Miss 
Tennessee Teen USA State Pageants, Kim has transformed these 
competitions into opportunities for growth and self-discovery. A former 
Tennessee Junior Miss and Miss Tennessee USA herself, she knows better 
than most how to empower ambitious young women to become positive 
examples of service and success that will transform the lives of little 
girls back home.
  On behalf of all Tennesseans, I want to thank Kim for helping so many 
young women harness their potential and build for themselves the 
beautiful and fulfilling lives they have always dreamed of.
