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. ____________________
