                        Thursday, August 2, 2012

  Mr. WALZ. Mr. Speaker, I wish to congratulate Ali Bernard for being 
named to the U.S. Olympic Team, and having the opportunity to compete 
in London this summer. This is an unbelievable accomplishment, and a 
testament to American dedication and talent.
  Ali has been an incredible competitor in wrestling since high school. 
From the Junior Nationals to the Pan American Games to the World 
Championships, it has all led up to becoming a two-time Olympian. Ali's 
achievement is an inspiration and a source of pride for the New Ulm 
community, and I am proud to represent such an outstanding individual.
  I look forward to watching Ali represent our country in London. I 
wish her and all the members of Team USA the best of luck in the 2012 
Olympic Games.
