  Mr. CROWLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
accomplishments of one of my constituents, Taina Vasquez of the Bronx, 
New York. I wish to recognize Taina for her Personal Essay Memoir, 
Silver Award win in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards of 2006 
contest, sponsored by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. The 
Alliance was established to promote artistic development and expression 
in middle and high school students throughout the Nation in cooperation 
with schools. This year's competition recognized the work of over 1,400 
students and invited award recipients to a workshop hosted in New York 
designed to introduce students to the professional world of art.
  Mr. Speaker, I join to wish Taina best wishes and good fortune in her 
future projects.
