                       Thursday, January 5, 2017

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Katie Hyde of 
Sugar Land, TX, for earning her Girl Scout Gold Award.
  The Gold Award is the highest achievement a Girl Scout can earn. To 
earn this distinguished award, Katie had to spend at least 80 hours 
developing and executing a project that would benefit the community and 
have a long-term impact on girls as well. Her Gold project included 
building sets of horse jumps for the therapeutic riding program at 
Southern Equestrian Center, which will make it easier for those with 
physical or mental disabilities to ride horses.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Katie Hyde for earning her Girl Scout Gold 
Award. We are confident she will have continued success in her future 
endeavors. We are very proud.
