Mr. ISRAEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge a young woman in my district, Renee Ahlers.
Ms. Ahlers has been selected to receive a prestigious Fulbright Award. The Fulbright Program is an international exchange program that is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. Recipients of this award are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievement, as well as demonstrated leadership in their chosen fields. Ms. Ahlers plans to teach English as a Foreign Language in Mexico.
I congratulate her on this accomplishment and applaud her contribution to global education and international relations.
