                         TRIBUTE TO EMILY HEIN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 14, 2014

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Emily Hein of Clive, Iowa for her commitment and enthusiasm as a 
foreign language student at the University of Rochester.
   Emily has been selected for a United States Department of State 
Critical Language Scholarship to study Advanced Chinese in Qingdao, 
China. This State Department program is an important component of the 
federal government's coordinated effort to expand the number of 
Americans learning foreign languages and to increase cultural 
competency.
   Mr. Speaker, I consider it a great honor to represent future leaders 
from Iowa like Emily Hein in the United States Congress. I invite my 
colleagues in the House to join me in congratulating her on earning 
this special scholarship. I wish Ms. Hein continued success in her 
studies, her travel and all her future endeavors.
