  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to recognize 
one of my constituents, Ms. Alia El-Assar, for her reception of an 
English Teaching Assistantship through the Fulbright Program. A student 
at Rollins College, Ms. El-Assar traveled to Mexico in September 2013 
where she will be teaching until May 2015.
   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 commend Ms. El-Assar for her commitment to education, and I thank 
her for representing the United States through the Fulbright Program in 
Mexico.
