                            HON. BILLY LONG

                     Wednesday, September 21, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Springfield, Missouri 
resident Rachel Schober for being awarded the Fulbright Scholarship by 
the U.S. State Department.
  The Fulbright Scholarship program was established by Congress in 1946 
and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. This scholarship was 
designed to build positive relationships with other countries while 
allowing recipients to live the day-to-day experiences of other 
cultures. Rachel Schober will join the already 370,000 past 
participants in this program.
  This scholarship is a merit based scholarship that is highly 
competitive. Founded originally by Senator J. William Fulbright, this 
grant aims to have educational research and teachings extend beyond the 
United States.
  Rachel Schober, who attended Missouri State University, will be an 
English Teaching Assistant and placed in the Czech Republic. She is 
currently a graduate assistant at the Ozarks Writing Project, an 
affiliate of the National Writing Project, and has also spent the past 
two years visiting schools in the area and helping students and 
teachers improve classroom performance.
  I am honored to recognize Rachel Schober, and I congratulate her on 
receiving the Fulbright Scholarship.
