                         FUTURE PROBLEM SOLVERS

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an inspiring group 
of middle school students from Heath Middle School and Calloway County 
Middle School.
  The First District of Kentucky was well represented at the Future 
Problem Solving Program International's 2018 conference at the 
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Teams from these two schools 
competed against their peers from across the globe.
  Both teams placed in the top 10 internationally, with the team from 
Heath Middle School placing eighth and the all-girls team from Calloway 
County placing ninth.
  Throughout the conference, the students experienced new cultures, 
enjoyed trading keepsakes from around the world, and socialized with 
students from many countries and States.
  I am grateful for the efforts of all involved in helping these 
students achieve their goals and for encouraging them to pursue 
interactive, holistic learning to prepare themselves for the future.
  I join with their family, friends, and teachers to congratulate these 
exceptional students on their outstanding efforts and look forward to 
their continued contributions to the First District of Kentucky.
