  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. G. Lincoln 
McCurdy, the president of the Turkish Coalition of America (TCA) who 
received the 2018 Gusi Peace Prize. TCA, founded by noted Turkish 
American Dr. Yalcin Ayasli, is an educational, public, charitable 
organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. whose mission is to 
educate the general public about Turkey and Turkish Americans and voice 
their opinions on critical issues to interested parties by supporting 
people-to-people exchanges, educating Congress about Turkish American 
perspectives; promoting balanced dialogue on U.S.-Turkey relations, and 
building bridges between the Turkish American community and other 
heritage communities.
  The Gusi Peace Prize Foundation is based in Manila, Philippines and 
annually recognizes individuals and organizations working toward the 
attainment of peace and respect for human life and dignity.
  I congratulate G. Lincoln McCurdy and the Turkish Coalition of 
America for receiving the 2018 Gusi Peace Prize.
