   WELCOMING CONGRESSIONAL ART COMPETITION WINNER MEGAN SMITH TO THE 
                                CAPITOL

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, today I welcome Megan 
Smith to the Capitol. Megan is the winner of the Pennsylvania Fifth 
Congressional District's Congressional Artwork Competition.
  The annual art competition, organized by the Congressional Institute, 
showcases the artwork of high school students across every 
congressional district in the country.
  Megan just graduated from Bellefonte Area High School earlier this 
month. Her artwork titled, ``Spoons,'' is a drawing of five different 
spoons on top of blue, pink, and white collage paper.
  All of the winning pieces will be displayed for the year in the 
Cannon tunnel where they will be viewed by Members of Congress, staff, 
and the many visitors of the Capitol every day.
  I am looking forward to spending time with Megan and her parents at 
this afternoon's reception where she and her fellow winners from across 
the country will be honored for their work.
  I congratulate Megan and all of the students who participated in the 
competition, and I am excited to see all of the new artwork hanging in 
the tunnel.
