                      RECOGNIZING ADAM ASHER DUKER

  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize Adam Asher 
Duker, who received a Fulbright grant to study the Reformation in 
Switzerland. The Fulbright program promotes cross-cultural 
understanding and unifies the world's brightest minds to embark on 
innovative research projects. Adam Duker was selected due to an 
impressive resume of leadership and academic achievement maintained 
throughout his university and post-graduate career.
   His passion and motivation certainly deepens our connection between 
cultures and fosters a stronger relationship between our countries. In 
Switzerland, Adam worked with the brightest Swiss academics to study 
the Reformation. As a graduate student at the University of Notre Dame, 
Adam's dissertation illustrates the viewpoint of Christians through the 
lens of the Hebrew bible, and explains Israelite identity 
transformation of Christian armies. His studies in Switzerland will 
surely navigate an uncharted course to shed light on a unique 
perspective of religious conflict in early modern Europe.
   I am honored to recognize Adam Asher Duker's exemplary work ethic, 
intelligence, and accomplished research collected at home and abroad. 
On behalf of Indiana's Second District, I am proud to recognize Adam 
for his prestigious accomplishments and wish him luck toward future 
endeavors.
