                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 14, 2007

  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay special tribute to Mr. 
Jose Santos, an outstanding individual from Dallas and recent recipient 
of the Fulbright award. Mr. Santos was chosen to receive the 
prestigious award to study, lecture or conduct research abroad during 
the 2006-2007 academic year after demonstrating high academic 
achievement studying Anthropology at Southern Methodist University.
  Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Education and 
Cultural Affairs, the Fulbright Award is America's leading 
international exchange program. Congress established the Fulbright 
Program in 1946 with the intention of fostering mutual understanding 
between United States citizens and the rest of the world. The Fulbright 
Program has since provided avenues of academic exchange with over a 
quarter of a million people in more than 150 countries worldwide. 
Surely the recipient of such an esteemed award does not lack merit.
  Mr. Santos was chosen for his high academic and professional 
achievement, as well as his exemplary leadership in his field. Mr. 
Santos' accomplishments thus far have been truly impressive and for 
that I wish to recognize him here on the floor of the U.S. House of 
Representatives.
  It is my honor to recognize Mr. Santos as the recipient of the 
Fulbright award, and I know I speak for all of Dallas when I say that 
we are very proud of his successes. I wish Mr. Santos the very best in 
all of his endeavors both at home and abroad.
