CONGRATULATIONS TO BYRAN HIGH SCHOOL NATIONAL FED CHALLENGE CHAMPIONS
______
HON. KEVIN BRADY
of texas
in the house of representatives
Thursday, May 8, 1997
Mr. BRADY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize six students from Bryan High School who competed in the National Fed Challenge sponsored by the Federal Reserve System. These students claimed the National Fed Challenge title for Bryan High for the second consecutive year. Team members include Jesse Dyer, C.W. Faulkner, Sarah Henry, William Scarmardo, Sarah Stasny, and William Strawser. They were coached by teachers Laura Wagner and Janyce Kinley.
The Fed Challenge competition seeks to increase students's knowledge and understanding of economics, monetary policy, and the role of the Federal Reserve in the national economy. Competition requires six-
member teams to research and analyze economic policy and present recommendations to a panel of judges at a mock meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee.
The Bryan High School team won the championship in Washington, DC, on May 1, 1997, competing against teams from other Federal Reserve districts. Judges for the national title event included Alice Rivlin, vice chair, Broad of Governors; Donald L. Kohn, director of monetary affairs, Board of Governors; and Al Broaddus, president, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.
I congratulate the students for their hard work and dedication. Their commitment to academic excellence is a tribute to Bryan High School, their families, and the State of Texas. I am confident that these fine students will grow to become solid citizens and community leaders.
