    HONORING HOLLY WALKER FOR HER OUTSTANDING SCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 24, 2004

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I stand here today to honor an outstanding 
young woman and student. Holly Walker has received the Discover Card 
Tribute Award Scholarship. As one of eight Nevada recipients, Holly 
went on to compete nationally for Discover Card's top scholarship award 
in which she, along with nine other students from around the country, 
were awarded an additional scholarship on top of the award received at 
the state level.
  Discover Card awards scholarships to junior high school students 
based on leadership merit, academic achievements, and the ability to 
share talents with others while simultaneously overcoming considerable 
personal challenges. The scholarship can then be used for any type of 
post-high school education.
  I congratulate Holly Walker for this great accomplishment and 
contribution to the state of Nevada. As one of only nine national 
recipients, and the only Nevada recipient to receive such an honor, I 
ask my colleagues to stand with me in recognition of this outstanding 
high school student.
