                       OF FUTURE MEDICAL LEADERS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 18, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Neosho High School 
Student Norma Harris on her being accepted as a delegate to the 
Congress of Future Medical Leaders by the National Academy of Future 
Physicians and Medical Scientists.
  The Congress of Future Medical Leaders is an honors-only program that 
is designed to motivate and direct the top students in the United 
States. Specifically, it's designed for students aspiring to become 
physicians or medical researchers, and provides a path and mentorship 
for students to accomplish their goals.
  To be considered for acceptance as a delegate, applicants are either 
recommended by a teacher or member of the Academy based on a proven 
track record of academic excellence. Delegates represent all 50 states 
plus Puerto Rico, and must have a minimum 3.5 GPA. Students like Harris 
who qualify for this incredibly selective honor exemplify top-tier 
diligence and academic talent.
  Mr. Speaker, as a perennial Honor Roll student at her high school, 
Norma Harris has displayed elite academic qualifications, which will 
undoubtedly serve her future aspirations well. I urge my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating her for this achievement. On behalf of 
Missouri's Seventh Congressional District, I wish Norma the best of 
luck in all her future endeavors.

                          ____________________
