  Mr. CANNON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commend the efforts of Brigham 
Young University in Provo, Utah, in their unending journey to better 
relations around the world, Brigham Young University in Provo, UT sends 
various groups from their Performing Arts department throughout the 
world to better the University's ties, which in turn improves U.S. 
foreign relations.
  On May 18th, BYU's Young Ambassadors, Ballroom Dance team, and Folk 
Dance Ensemble returned from a tour of the South Pacific commemorating 
the 20th anniversary of their first visit to China.
  Throughout the past twenty years, BYU has established a name for 
itself in China and is currently very well regarded by its people. I am 
very proud to represent the students and faculty members of BYU. They 
are a model to us all as we work to create a global society of culture, 
heritage and peace.
