                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                       TRIBUTE TO VICTORIA MALOCH

 Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, today I recognize Victoria Maloch 
from Magnolia, AR, for being selected for participation in the annual 
United States Senate Youth Program.
  Created in 1962, the United States Senate Youth was organized to 
encourage an understanding of our government with an emphasis of how 
its three branches work and how elected officials work for their 
constituents and create policies that impact our Nation and the world. 
The weeklong visit to Washington, DC, allows students to meet and 
interact with lawmakers, appointed officials and staff who are involved 
in crafting legislation and making decisions that influence our laws.
  This program brings together some of our Nations top youth leaders, 
like Victoria, who show a commitment to public service. An outstanding 
student at Emerson High School, Victoria excels both in and out of the 
classroom.
  She serves as president of the 4-H Club and Future Farmers of 
America; vice president of Arkansas Junior Brangus Breeders 
Association; secretary of the Science Club and captain of Quiz Bowl. 
Victoria is a member of the Beta club, Future Business Leaders of 
America, and Family Career and Community Leaders of America. She was a 
People-to-People ambassador and volunteers in her community with the 
Youth Advisory Council and Today's Youth Tomorrow's Leaders program. 
Victoria plans to attend the University of Arkansas and continue her 
education in law school.
  Victoria is very deserving of this honor. I congratulate her for her 
determination, dedication, and service and encourage her growth as a 
leader.
