  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Misty Pena of 
North Richland Hills, Texas, on receiving the venerated 2006 
Presidential Freedom Scholarship. As a recipient of this prestigious 
award, she is recognized for her outstanding leadership and commitment 
to servicing of her community and its residents.

displaying exceptional service and citizenship, with a $1,000

nomination, individuals must have completed at least 100 hours of

school, community, and country.
