                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 19, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Carl Junction High 
School student Seth Towery, of Joplin, Missouri, on his 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 Towery 
who qualify for this incredibly selective honor exemplify top-tier 
diligence and academic talent.
  Mr. Speaker, Seth Towery has displayed the ability to not only excel 
in the classroom, but to balance his interests in science and medicine 
with his athletic endeavors. I urge my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating him for this achievement. On behalf of Missouri's 
Seventh Congressional District, I wish Seth the best of luck in all his 
future endeavors.
