  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to recognize 
one of my constituents, Dr. James Syvertsen, on his selection as a 
Fulbright award recipient. Dr. Syvertsen, a professor in biology at the 
University of Florida, taught in Uruguay as a Fulbright scholar from 
September through November 2013.
   The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, is 
supported by the United States, participating foreign governments and 
the private sector. Established by Congress in 1946, the Program's 
purpose is to ``build mutual understanding between the people of the 
United States and the rest of the world.'' Fulbright awardees are 
selected for academic excellence, professional achievements or 
demonstrated leadership in their fields.
   I thank Dr. Syvertsen for his commitment to education and for 
representing the United States through the Fulbright Program in 
Uruguay.
