                 NORTH CAROLINA ART COMPETITION WINNERS

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the 
three winners of North Carolina's First Congressional District Art 
Competition.
  Kayla Lassiter, a Bertie High School senior, won first place with her 
piece, Rainbow-Hued. Lassiter brilliantly used color and digital 
design.
  I had the distinct honor of meeting her and her mother right here in 
our Nation's Capitol where her artwork will remain on display for 
thousands of visitors to see.
  Nathan Varney, a J.H. Rose High School senior, was a runner-up with 
his piece, Bamboo Forester.
  I also proudly recognize Jocelyn Hernandez Jimenes, a North Edgecombe 
High School student who earned third place with her piece, The Mythical 
Bird.
  Clearly, we have incredible, creative, talented artists in eastern 
North Carolina. I now commend all of this year's participants.
