  Mr. SALI. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Antonio 
Ysura, winner of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) 
Young Entrepreneur Awards.
   Antonio encompasses the goal of the NFIB Young Entrepreneur 
Foundation (YEF) which encourages young people to consider careers in 
small business and entrepreneurship and to help further the education 
of these students. Antonio started his own photography business in 
Boise. In light of his successful business operation he was awarded a 
scholarship for higher education. He is only one of 416 high school 
seniors across the country to receive this distinguished award.
   YEF has encouraged and supported the entrepreneurial dreams of 1,900 
students with scholarships totaling $2,200,000. I commend NFIB and YEF 
for this outstanding accomplishment and commitment to our youth.
   I am honored to take this opportunity to congratulate a leader of 
our next generation of small business owners. Antonio, I wish you much 
success in your future endeavors.
