  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Nathan Edgerton 
as he receives the North Texas in DC Internship Program Legacy Award.
  The NTDC Program connects University of North Texas students with 
internship opportunities in our nation's capital. Nathan began his long 
career in public service as an intern in my Washington, D.C. office. 
Since then, he has spent more than a decade helping government and 
nonprofit organizations with strategic planning, grants, and community 
resource management.
  Currently, Nathan serves as a Bureau Planner for the Bureau of Near 
Eastern Affairs at the Department of State. In this role, he manages 
the foreign assistance budget planning and justification process for 
the department's $7 billion budget that includes economic, 
multilateral, law enforcement, and security assistance programs that 
support U.S. foreign policy objectives and interests throughout the 
Middle East and North Africa. He previously served as a Grants 
Management Officer supporting economic and public diplomacy programs in 
NEA and the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs.
  Additionally, Nathan served North Texans as the Director of Health 
Grants at the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas, supporting community 
organizations striving to improve health outcomes for children and 
families in Dallas, Collin, Rockwall, and southern Denton counties. He 
earned his B.A. in political science and M.P.A. with a focus in 
nonprofit management from UNT.
  Throughout his career, Nathan has been known for his expertise, 
dedication, and hard work. I am grateful that the NTDC Program 
connected him with my office years ago, and I congratulate my fellow 
UNT alum on his many achievements.
