                 CONGRATULATIONS TO MRS. BILLIE TRAVIS

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I would like to honor Mrs. Billie 
Travis, a mathematics teacher at Scott County's Georgetown Middle 
School, who has been named the 2005 Kentucky Teacher of the Year.
  For the past 19 years, Mrs. Travis has been teaching mathematics at 
the Georgetown Middle School. As a career educator she earned a 
bachelor's degree in education from Morehead State University and a 
Master's degree in education from Georgetown College. Mrs. Travis has 
taken her own Kentucky education and reinvested in the community. 
Whether it is serving on the regional board of the Kentucky Middle 
School Association or the Kentucky Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 
Mrs. Travis is a leader both inside and out of the classroom.
  This is the fourth year that Ashland Inc. and the Kentucky Department 
of Education have sponsored the Kentucky Teacher Awards. I would like 
to congratulate Mrs. Travis again on her achievement and thank her for 
this significant contribution to middle school education in 
Kentucky.
