                 CONGRATULATING THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 4, 2008

  Mr. SALI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
the University of Idaho for their re-designation as a National Center 
of Academic Excellence (CAE) in Information Assurance Education (IA).
  The National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security has 
bestowed this distinguished recognition on only ninety-three schools 
across 37 states and the District of Columbia.
  In order to be considered a CAE high academic standards must be in 
place. A CAE is required to have a full-time faculty dedicated to 
teaching IA, academic courses focused on IA and students involved in IA 
research projects. CAE students are trained to play a critical role in 
protecting our national information infrastructure.
  The University of Idaho will now be eligible to apply for 
scholarships and grants through both federal and Department of Defense 
Information Assurance Scholarship Programs.
  Congratulations to the University of Idaho for this fine distinction 
and commitment to cultivating the minds of our future leaders.
