                         Tuesday, July 21, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Mackenzie Ellis of Johnston, Iowa. Mackenzie will be 
representing the United States as an educational ambassador through the 
Ameson Year in China (AYC) program.
  Mackenzie, a recent graduate of Iowa State University, will be 
traveling to China to spend a year teaching, studying, and working with 
public schools in an effort to make a difference. She will have the 
opportunity to learn new languages and immerse herself in the Chinese 
culture through a number of different programs offered through AYC.
  I commend Mackenzie for seizing this opportunity to expand her 
knowledge of different cultures and explore what the world has to 
offer. I am proud to represent Iowans like Mackenzie in the U.S. House 
of Representatives. I know that my colleagues join me in congratulating 
her and wish her nothing but the best as she embarks on this new 
adventure.
