                       RECOGNIZING JACQUE CORTEZ

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 29, 1999

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jacque Cortez 
upon her selection by Visalia-area schools as a ``Good Kid.'' Jacque 
was chosen based on her academic achievements, classroom leadership, 
and efforts in literature and music.
  The ``Good Kid'' program was formed in an effort to provide students 
with positive reinforcement. The program allows Visalia teachers to 
nominate students, who have excelled in academics and demonstrated a 
good work ethic, for recognition in the Visalia Times Delta newspaper. 
Those individuals selected are mentioned in a piece featured daily in 
the Times Delta.
  Jacque Cortez, who was nominated by her fifth grade teacher, 
currently attends sixth grade at Willow Glen Elementary in Visalia, 
California. Throughout Jacque's years at Willow Glen, faculty and 
classmates alike have considered her a leader who is eager to learn and 
always willing to assist others.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize Jacque Cortez for being selected as 
a ``Good Kid.'' I urge my colleagues to join me in wishing Jacque 
continued success in her academic and extracurricular pursuits.
