                        HONORING RACHAEL BEVILL

  (Mr. GUINTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an incredible young 
Granite Stater who had the distinct honor of being chosen to represent 
New Hampshire in the Cherry Blossom Princess Program.
  Rachael Bevill, a senior at George Washington University in 
Washington, D.C., and a resident of Merrimack, New Hampshire, embodies 
all the qualities of a great leader.
  As a student at Merrimack High School, Rachael served as class 
secretary and a member of her student council. Rachael also excels and 
competes at a State and nationwide level for public speaking and 
writing, placing third in both the VFW's Americanism essay contest and 
the Voice of Democracy speech competition.
  Currently, Rachael is studying biomedical engineering. Inspired by 
two of her siblings who have autism, Rachael aims to design 
nanotechnology and regenerative medicine to make the lives of future 
generations with similar challenges much easier.
  It is ambitious, bright, and altruistic young people like Rachael 
that provide such great hope for our Nation's future. I congratulate 
her.
