  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two students from my 
district who are the recipients of the National Security Education 
Program's David L. Boren Undergraduate Scholarship Awards. Since its 
creation by Congress in 1991, the National Security Education Program 
has awarded over 1,300 undergraduate scholarships and over 700 graduate 
scholarships.
  The program addresses the need to increase the ability of Americans 
to communicate and compete globally by knowing the cultures and 
languages of other countries. Scholarships are awarded to 
undergraduates to study abroad in subjects critical to United States 
national security. Recipients earn their awards through a rigorous 
national merit-based competition that includes hundreds of applicants.
  Ms. Sarah Chankin-Gould of Long Beach, California, attends Occidental 
College in Los Angeles, California. With the National Security 
Education Program scholarship, she will study international relations 
and Spanish language and literature in Mexico.
  Ms. Frances Sullivan-Lewis, also of Long Beach, is enrolled at 
Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. She plans to study 
history and East European language and literature in Russia.
  I commend these two students for their hard work throughout their 
scholastic careers and I am proud to recognize their accomplishments.
