  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly rise to recognize Todd Swetnam, 
a very special young man who has exemplified the finest qualities in 
journalism by competing in the recent Journalism Education Association 
(JEA) and National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA) Convention in 
Washington, DC.
  While competing, Todd and the Liberty High School broadcasting staff 
were honored as Pacemaker Award finalists for their KLHS broadcast. 
Todd and the team earned this distinct acknowledgement by conducting 
one of ten top broadcasts in the Nation, a noteworthy achievement.
  Todd has also been deemed the best in the Nation in his field and 
given top on-air reporter honors based upon his exemplary journalistic 
skills. I join the Liberty community in congratulating Todd for his 
excellence in the field of journalism.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Todd 
Swetnam for his accomplishments and wish him good luck on all future 
endeavors.
