  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Adlena McLain of Council Bluffs, Iowa, for being 
recognized by the Horatio Alger Foundation to receive the 2016 Regional 
AKSARBEN Award for Iowa. Adlena is a student at Abraham Lincoln High 
School in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
  Adlena was selected for this award for her commitment in continuing 
her education and for serving her community. She maintained excellent 
grades and scored at the top level on her ACT test. She will receive 
substantial funds to use towards her college tuition costs. Sarah 
Steinmetz, the Talented and Gifted Strategist at Abraham Lincoln High 
School said, ``Adlena gives so much and goes above and beyond what is 
expected of her. She really deserves this award.''
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Adlena for being selected to 
receive this award. I am proud to represent her in the United States 
Congress. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Adlena. We wish her nothing 
but continued success in her education endeavors.
