  Mr. HYDE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend a young individual 
from my district who recently won the honor of ``Mayor For The Day'' of 
Elmhurst, Illinois. Miss Becca Kern, who is in Sixth Grade at 
Visitation Catholic School, won this honor by composing the following 
essay in 50 words or less:
  ``Good citizenship is important in Elmhurst because. . . .
  Citizenship means contributing to the community. In Elmhurst, our 
town relies on each other. People taking the time to make it a fun, 
safe, and successful community. I am proud to be a citizen of this town 
because everyone in Elmhurst makes a contribution to its greatness.''
