                   CONGRATULATING MR. JOSHUA BARNHILL

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. THOMAS G. TANCREDO

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 5, 2007

  Mr. TANCREDO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to one of my 
constituents Mr. Joshua Barnhill of Aurora, Colorado, who will attend a 
People to People World Leadership Forum in 2008. His outstanding 
academic merits and communal involvement have laid a solid foundation 
of individual integrity and dedication: both characteristics of a 
qualified leader. I am honored to represent such a promising young man.
  Created in 1956, the People to People Program is an educational 
travel program dedicated to fostering leadership potential in youth 
worldwide. People to People has helped more than 200,000 students and 
professionals develop their leadership skills based upon Dwight D. 
Eisenhower's belief that ``people can make a difference where 
governments cannot.'' This unique interaction and exposure will enable 
Mr. Barnhill to gain a greater understanding and insider's perspective 
of Washington, DC.
  Madam Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to acknowledge one of 
Colorado's own. Please join me in congratulating Mr. Barnhill and 
wishing him the best in his future endeavors.
