  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Eric R. 
Jones of Denton, Texas for receiving the prestigious Fulbright award to 
study abroad in Bolivia during the 2005-2006 academic year. Mr. Jones 
was honored with this award for his studies in Ethnomusicology at the 
University of North Texas.
  The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the Department of State Bureau 
of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The program was established in 
1946 with the purpose of building mutual understanding between the 
people of the United States and the rest of the world by allowing 
recipients to study, lecture or conduct research in an international 
exchange program.
  Eric was selected on the basis of academic achievement, as well as 
demonstrated leadership potential in his field.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to Mr. Eric Jones on receiving 
this award and commend his dedication and desire to help his school, 
community and country.
