                        Monday, January 28, 2008

  Mr. TANCREDO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to one of my 
constituents, Ms. Laura Johnson of Larkspur, Colorado. Ms. Johnson 
teaches English as a foreign language while attending the University of 
Denver and is a recipient of the prestigious Fulbright Award. This 
grant is given to promising individuals to aid them in their academic 
and cultural pursuits abroad.
  The Fulbright Program was established by Congress in 1946 and is 
sponsored by the U.S. State Department. This program was designed to 
help build mutual understanding between Americans and the global 
community. Individuals who are awarded this distinction have 
demonstrated outstanding academic or professional achievement and have 
proven themselves as leaders in their field.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in paying tribute to Ms. Johnson and 
wishing her the best in her future endeavors.
