                               KYLA BASS

  (Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Ms. Kyla 
Bass of Florence, Kentucky. On February 13, 2008, Kyla distinguished 
herself when her father, Patrick Bass, a Desert Storm veteran, suffered 
a seizure.
  In a display of courage, maturity and composure that far exceeded her 
10 years of age, Kyla responded to the emergency quickly and 
effectively. She administered first aid and then called her mother and 
grandfather, while simultaneously caring for her younger brother and 
two cousins who were at home at the time of the emergency.
  Kyla attributes her quick thinking and first aid proficiency to the 
skills she learned in American Heritage Girls Troop KY0727. American 
Heritage Girls is dedicated to developing young women through service 
to God, family, community and country.
  In recognition of Kyla's heroism, American Heritage Girls has created 
the Angel Among Us award, which Kyla will receive during the regional 
awards ceremony on May 16. Her self-control during this event is 
impressive. Kyla, we're proud of you. Madam Speaker I ask you to join 
me in commending Kyla Bass for her outstanding actions and character.
