                              FLAT STANLEY

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome a distinguished 
visitor to the House floor today.
  Flat Stanley is visiting Washington, D.C., this week from Miss 
Martin's second-grade class at Clemmons Elementary in Clemmons, North 
Carolina. Through Flat Stanley's adventures, the students in Miss 
Martin's class are learning about geography and maps.
  It has been more than 50 years since Stanley Lambchop was first 
flattened by a bulletin board in Jeff Brown's 1964 children's classic. 
Today, the Flat Stanley Project is a global literacy activity that 
engages hundreds of thousands of children and includes more than 6,000 
schools registered in 88 countries around the world.
  It has been my pleasure to show Flat Stanley around the U.S. Capitol. 
I hope he has a safe trip back to North Carolina's Fifth Congressional 
District and that Miss Martin's class enjoys learning about his visit 
to Congress.
