  Mrs. WILSON. Mr. Speaker, I wish to bring to your attention an honor 
bestowed upon Deborah A. Sloan, a teacher at Zia Elementary School in 
Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ms. Sloan was selected as a participant in the 
Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program.
  Ms. Sloan, was selected from a national pool of more than 2,700 
applicants for this honor. As a member of the Navajo/Hopi Tribe and a 
distinguished teacher she is an outstanding representative of the rich, 
diverse culture in New Mexico. Ms. Sloan joined 200 educators from 
throughout the United States to travel Japan. They visited primary and 
secondary schools, colleges, businesses and cultural sights to learn 
about effective educational tools and techniques. As a representative 
of New Mexico schools she shared her knowledge and insight regarding 
education with people from throughout the United States and Japan. Her 
participation is a tribute to her dedication and commitment to the 
children of Zia Elementary and the future of our community.
  Please join me in thanking Deborah A. Sloan for contributions she is 
making to Albuquerque, New Mexico.
