              CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 1999 MISS NEW MEXICO

 Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate Miss 
Katie Kelly, an exceptional young woman from my home state of New 
Mexico who was recently crowned 1999 Miss New Mexico. Miss Kelly, a 
Santa Fean, will go on to represent New Mexico in the Miss America 
contest in Atlantic City, New Jersey, this fall.
  Miss Kelly is representative of the selfless, poised, and self-
assured young women that I am proud to have represent our state on a 
national level. This year's Miss New Mexico laureate is a Christian 
Life Academy graduate who is now attending Santa Fe Community College. 
She plans to attend Pepperdine University next year and study broadcast 
journalism and voice. Her previous achievements include, being named 
1998 Miss Albuquerque Teen USA, 1999 Miss Santa Fe America, and second 
runner-up of the Miss New Mexico Teen USA pageant.
  I have no reservations that she will dutifully fulfill the 
responsibilities that accompany this accolade. I wish her the best of 
luck in the Miss America Contest and in all her future 
endeavors.
