       RECOGNIZING EVAN McCARTNEY'S FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR ACHIEVEMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 21, 2015

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Evan McCartney on receiving a renowned Fulbright Study and Research 
Award for the 2014-2015 academic year.
  Evan, a Nixa, Missouri, native and United States Air Force Academy 
graduate, was awarded the Fulbright grant to study the field of 
political science in Ukraine. There, he has learned the country's 
military aviation history and future through Ukraine's National 
Aviation University.
  Fulbright Study and Research grants allow recipients to design 
projects and work with advisers and foreign universities to pursue a 
particular field of study. Given the ongoing conflict in the region, I 
am certain Evan's bright mind and American military background has shed 
new light on the ongoing situation there.
  I am extremely proud that talented, hardworking and dedicated 
individuals such as Evan have great opportunities to represent the 
Seventh District of Missouri. I urge my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Evan McCartney for his scholarship and for receiving 
such an esteemed award.
