      ANDREA COREY SHOWING GREAT PROMISE IN RANGEL FELLOW PROGRAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CHARLES B. RANGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 2, 2006

  Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to inform you of the achievements of 
Andrea Corey, a young lady whose aspirations and goals are contributing 
to her success as an international affairs scholar.
  Andrea's record is cause for great pride to the International Affairs 
Diversity Fellow Program, which is identifying and preparing qualified 
minority applicants for the Foreign Service. Having obtained an 
International Affairs' masters through hard work and perseverance with 
a current 3.6 GPA, she is also a concerned citizen who will certainly 
change the way American diplomacy is practiced.
  She is an example of what the program has achieved with Federal 
funding, awarding deserving minority students with grants to cover 
their tuition, books and fees.
  Andrea Corey has already experienced the reality of the Foreign 
Service, having worked with Foreign-Service diplomats at the United 
States Embassy in the Dominican Republic and writing talking points for 
speeches by the United States Ambassador.
  She plans on working with political economic issues at the U.S. 
Embassy in the Bahamas this summer, while expanding her knowledge and 
professional experience.
