                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 20, 1999

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate 15 outstanding students from my district who have been 
recognized as ``National AP Scholars.'' This is no small 
accomplishment. Out of 635,000 students who took Advanced Placement 
(AP) exams last year, only 1,451 of them have earned the distinction of 
being named a ``National AP Scholar.'' That puts them in the top .2 
percent of all high school students taking Advanced Placement exams.
  I am proud that such a large group of the students who have earned 
this national distinction live in the 41st Congressional District.
  David M. Kallemeyn from the City of Upland, Von P. Fernandes from the 
City of Chino Hills, Fred J. Freeman from the City of Yorba Linda, 
Matthew G. Lee from the City of Yorba Linda, Don Wang from the City of 
Upland, Jacqueline T. Kung from the City of Yorba Linda, Adam S. Feffer 
from the City of Upland, William A. Therien from the City of Upland, 
Vijaya K. Reddy from the City of Chino Hills, Nicholas G. Genesta from 
the City of Pomona, Omri M. Ceren from the City of Ontario, Gilpeter M. 
Layugan from the City of Pomona, Jeremy N. Wong from the City of 
Rowland Heights, Christopher Lau from the City of Diamond Bar and 
Brinda Balakrishnan from the City of Upland are ``National AP 
Scholars.''
  I know that their families and their teachers are proud of their 
academic accomplishments and their hard work.
