                         Tuesday, June 19, 2018

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Katherine (Katie) Wood for receiving the Congressional Gold Award.
   The Congressional Award is an award from the United States Congress 
for young Americans who demonstrate excellence in four program areas: 
Voluntary Public Service, Personal Development, Physical Fitness and 
Expedition/Exploration. It is awarded to young people who strive to 
challenge themselves and reach new goals.
   Katie received this award because of her determination, hard work 
and achievements in these program areas. This year, Katie is being 
awarded the Gold Congressional Award--the highest honor and a 
tremendous accomplishment! In past years, Katie has earned two Silver 
Congressional Awards.
   This type of achievement can only be attained with hard work and 
perseverance, both of which have been exemplified by Katie in this 
award process and in her day-to-day life. I applaud students like Katie 
who work to make the most of their education, commit to being lifelong 
learners and develop a work ethic and new skills which will guide them 
for the rest of their lives.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Katie Wood for winning the 
Congressional Gold Award. I have no doubt she will exhibit the same 
dedication and character in all of her future accomplishments.
