The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“RECOGNIZING TAYLOR BOYER” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E529 on May 2, 2019.
The State Department is responsibly for international relations with a budget of more than $50 billion. Tenure at the State Dept. is increasingly tenuous and it's seen as an extension of the President's will, ambitions and flaws.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
RECOGNIZING TAYLOR BOYER
______
HON. BRIAN K. FITZPATRICK
of pennsylvania
in the house of representatives
Thursday, May 2, 2019
Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, for nearly two decades, the U.S. Department of State's Benjamin A. Gilman International Student Program has afforded qualified American students the ability to study abroad. To date, over 28,000 outstanding Americans representing 1,300 colleges and universities have studied in over 150 countries as part of this program. Students selected represent diverse backgrounds and engage in a unique educational experience that gives them skills related to national security and economic competitiveness.
I rise today to recognize the prestigious accomplishment of my constituent, Taylor Boyer of Doylestown, who received a Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship to study abroad in Belize during the 2017-2018 academic year while a student at Delaware Valley University.
On behalf of all residents of the First Congressional District, I congratulate Taylor on this outstanding achievement.
