                         Friday, June 29, 2018

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Katie Miller of 
Cambridge, Illinois, who was named the 2018 Outstanding Junior of the 
Year by the Illinois Beef Association.
  Katie Miller has excelled on campus at Western Illinois University, 
where she recently completed her junior year. Her studies in 
agricultural sciences with an emphasis on animal science were inspired 
by the time she spent alongside her grandparents working with beef 
producers. Following the completion of her undergraduate work, she 
plans to pursue a graduate degree in ruminant nutrition or meat 
science, while partnering on the farm with her grandparents. Outside of 
the classroom, Ms. Miller is the Vice President of the Illinois Junior 
Beef Association Board and has held various other local and state 
leadership positions with the Illinois Beef Association further 
demonstrating her qualifications for this award.
  It is because of dedicated citizens like Katie Miller that I proudly 
serve the people of the 17th District of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I would 
like to formally congratulate Katie Miller on her outstanding 
achievement and journey into agricultural science.
