  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the National 
Collegiate Honors Council on their 50th Anniversary. NCHC is devoted to 
educational excellence, serving over 800 colleges and universities and 
325,000 students in varying disciplines across the nation.
   Two institutions of higher education in my district are NCHC 
members, Long Island University and SUNY College at Old Westbury.
   Long Island University boasts academically talented students from 
each corner of our country studying in an array of majors. The Long 
Island University Honors Program offers high achieving students the 
opportunity to focus on a multitude of topics as they prepare 
themselves for professional careers and postgraduate studies.
   SUNY Old Westbury's Honors College is more than just academics. The 
Honors College strives to ensure an enriched academic and social 
experience for its members and to create an environment that fosters 
active and innovative learning.
   Mr. Speaker, I invite my colleagues to join me in commending Long 
Island University, SUNY Old Westbury and the National Collegiate Honors 
Council for their outstanding contributions to our nation's educational 
and professional communities.
