in my district, Renee Ahlers.
  Ms. Ahlers has been selected to receive a prestigious Fulbright 
Award. The Fulbright Program is an international exchange program that 
is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. Recipients of this award 
are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievement, as 
well as demonstrated leadership in their chosen fields. Ms. Ahlers 
plans to teach English as a Foreign Language in Mexico.
  I congratulate her on this accomplishment and applaud her 
contribution to global education and international relations.
