                       RECOGNITION OF JOYCE MAISH

 Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I take this moment to recognize 
Joyce Maish, a high school business teacher in Augusta, KS. Joyce was 
one of twelve teachers across the United States who was named Teacher 
of the Year by the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship.
  Joyce has been a teacher at Augusta High School for twenty-five 
years. At the high school, Joyce conducts a ``Youth Entrepreneurs for 
Kansas'' class, in which she attempts to focus the ideas and dreams of 
her students on the possibility that they could someday start their own 
businesses. Moreover, she has done an outstanding job of bringing in 
local business owners and officials from Augusta and Wichita to speak 
to her students to teach them about the realities of business 
enterprise.
  Joyce Maish is a role model teacher for Kansas and for the Nation. I 
am very pleased that the National Foundation for Teaching 
Entrepreneurship has honored Joyce for her years of excellence. I wish 
Joyce continued success in all of her future endeavors.
