                          HON. KENNY MARCHANT

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 29, 2015

  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Andrew 
Hasson of Coppell, Afshan Kamrudin of Carrollton, Matthew Lenzen of 
Farmers Branch, Abhishek Raj of Carrollton, and Amanda Kathleen White 
of Farmers Branch, who were selected to be 2014-2015 Fulbright 
Grantees. This is an incredibly illustrious achievement, and I am 
honored that these came from my Congressional District in Texas.
  The Fulbright Program was established in 1946 by Congress. These five 
join the already 360,000 past participants over seven decades in the 
Fulbright Program, a prestigious group selected through open, merit-
based competitions. Their destinations and universities are as follows:
  Andrew Hasson to Malaysia through the University of Pennsylvania. 
Afshan Kamrudin to South Africa through Southern Methodist University. 
Matthew Lenzen to Taiwan through Texas A&M University. Abhishek Raj to 
Germany through the University of Texas at Dallas. Amanda Kathleen 
White to Japan through the University of North Texas.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 24th Congressional District of Texas, I 
ask all my distinguished colleagues to join me in honoring Andrew 
Hasson, Afshan Kamrudin, Matthew Lenzen, Abhishek Raj, and Amanda 
Kathleen White for this tremendous achievement.
