  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 2 high school 
students who were chosen by the National Academy of Future Physicians 
and Medical Scientists to represent the State of Colorado as Delegates 
at the Congress of Future Medical Leaders. These students are Jana 
Sherif and Meghan Wampler.
  The Congress is an honors-only program for top students in our 
country who aspire to be physicians or medical scientists. These 
students are nominated by their teachers or the

Academy based on their leadership ability, academic achievement, and 
dedication. This program is designed to inspire young people to go into 
medical research fields or be physicians, and provides a path, plan, 
and mentoring resources to help them reach their goal. During the 
Congress, the students will have the chance to learn from leaders in 
the medical field as well as government officials, top medical school 
deans, leaders from the private sector, and even Nobel laureates.
  These students' acceptance to this prestigious program is an 
incredible feat, and it is my honor to rise today and recognize the 
outstanding accomplishment of this future leader. Our nation greatly 
benefits from the achievements of physicians and medical scientists, 
and it is important that we continue to inspire younger generations to 
pursue careers in the medical field.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Colorado, 
I extend my congratulations to these students and wish them the best in 
their future endeavors.
