                 CONGRATULATING EMBRY RIDDLE UNIVERSITY

  (Mrs. KIRKPATRICK of Arizona asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. KIRKPATRICK of Arizona. Mr. Speaker, on November 5, Embry Riddle 
University held their annual symposium dedicated to issues in homeland 
security on its Prescott, Arizona, campus. Unfortunately, the House 
held votes that day and I could not attend, but I heard that it was a 
fantastic event.
  This year's theme was ``Challenges for Homeland Security in the 21st 
Century,'' and panelists came from the FBI, the CIA, and TSA, the 
Arizona Department of Public Safety, and from the world of academia, 
among other places. Topics covered a wide range of issues, such as 
cybersecurity, public-private partnerships, and coordination between 
Federal, State, and local law enforcement.
  I congratulate the faculty and administration of the Embry Riddle 
Prescott campus for putting together the event and working to develop a 
new generation of homeland security professionals.
