     IN RECOGNITION OF PIEDMONT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL'S STUDENT COUNCIL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 27, 2004

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of 
Piedmont Elementary School of Piedmont, Alabama. This fine elementary 
school has established a Student Council in order to teach its students 
the importance of government and the democratic principles. As I read 
the letters of some of its young officers, I know that this experiment 
has been successful. These young people, under the leadership of 
student council sponsors Miss Leslie Gary and Mrs. Melinda Whaley, are 
indeed a credit to their school, their community and their state.
  As a reward for their service on the Piedmont Elementary School 
Student Council and to further their education about our American 
government, these students will be traveling to Washington, D.C., on 
April 27 to May 1, 2004. The Alabama Legislature has designated them as 
``Ambassadors of Goodwill.''
  I welcome these Alabama Ambassadors of Goodwill and their principal, 
John H. McGill, as the Piedmont Elementary School Student Council 
visits our Nation's Capital. I salute these young people for their 
accomplishments.
