                         Wednesday, May 18, 2016

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to 
congratulate the University of Central Florida for winning the 2016 
Raytheon National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (NCCDC) for the 
third consecutive year. The competition, held April 22-24 in San 
Antonio, Texas, brought together the top ten college and university 
teams from across the country.
  More than 180 colleges and universities and 2,000 undergraduate and 
graduate students participated in competitions leading up to the 
national championship which was sponsored by Raytheon. The Raytheon 
competition models real-world scenarios in which teams are required to 
maintain operational needs of their businesses and user demands amidst 
cyber attacks. Preparing the next generation of cyber security leaders 
is critical to defending our nation against ever-increasing threats.
  Again, congratulations to the University of Central Florida team for 
bringing home the Raytheon NCCDC Alamo Cup for the third consecutive 
year and establishing the University as a national leader in cyber 
security
