                         PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARS

  (Mr. CICILLINE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CICILLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Presidential Scholars Dylan Neel of Moses Brown High School and Sol 
Taubin of the Wheeler School for the academic excellence.
  Dylan and Sol have shown themselves to be some of our Nation's most 
distinguished graduating high school seniors. They are two of only 141 
students selected as U.S. Presidential Scholars from more than 3,000 
applicants. The U.S. Presidential Scholars program recognizes 
graduating high school seniors for academic excellence, artistic 
accomplishments, and civic contributions. These young people represent 
the great hope of our Nation's youth and the promise of the American 
education system.
  I also want to recognize Jennifer Stewart and Christine Barry, who 
were selected by Dylan and Sol, respectively, as their most inspiring 
and challenging teachers. I thank these teachers for their dedication 
to our young people and our schools.
  I am pleased to join the White House Commission on Presidential 
Scholars and the United States Department of Education in recognizing 
Dylan Neel and Sol Taubin.
