         ANTHONY ANDERSON, A RISING JUNIOR AT LA SALLE ACADEMY

  (Mr. CICILLINE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CICILLINE. I rise today to honor Anthony Anderson, a rising 
junior at LaSalle Academy in my home State of Rhode Island.
  Earlier this year, Anthony was awarded a Gold Medal from the National 
Scholastic Art & Writing Awards for a self-portrait he submitted 
focused on the issue of bullying. Anthony has been recognized each year 
by the National Scholastic Art & Writing Awards since he was in the 
seventh grade, and this month, Anthony's painting is on display at an 
art gallery in New York City.
  His family and his art teacher at LaSalle were invited to Carnegie 
Hall last week for a ceremony honoring his work and the work of other 
Gold Medal winners from across our Nation.
  I congratulate Anthony on his impressive accomplishments and join 
Rhode Islanders all across our State in wishing him continued success 
in the years ahead.
