HONORING ADELE LICHTENBERGER, RECIPIENT OF THE AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL 
             SOCIETY/NASA EARTH SCIENCE GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. GERALD E. CONNOLLY

                       Tuesday, November 30, 2010

  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Adele 
Lichtenberger, of Springfield, Va., for receiving the American 
Meteorological Society and NASA Earth Science Graduate Fellowship. This 
fellowship program is designed to encourage careers in environmental 
science--specifically atmospheric, oceanic and hydrological fields--for 
the bright young scientists. It selects promising students in their 
first year of graduate study who are interested in a variety of 
concentrations including meteorology, physics, mathematics, hydrology, 
oceanography, marine science, computer science and engineering. Ms. 
Lichtenberger received one of only thirteen fellowships from the 
American Meteorological Society.
  Ms. Lichtenberger recently received her bachelor's degree in 
meteorology and physics from North Carolina State University, where she 
was recognized as the Outstanding Senior in Meteorology in May 2010. 
She has also earned the American Meteorological Society's Richard and 
Helen Hagemeyer Scholarship for the 2009 school year as well as the 
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Ernest F. Hollings 
Undergraduate Scholarship for the 2008 and 2009 school years. Ms. 
Lichtenberger's studies were focused on cloud and aerosol physics, and 
she will continue this focus in her graduate studies at Colorado State 
University.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Adele 
Lichtenberger as the recipient of the AMS/NASA Earth Science Graduate 
Fellowship and for her commitment to her study of meteorological 
science.
