  Mr. ROONEY of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of 
Lorelei Domke, a Cape Coral, FL resident and senior at New College of 
Florida studying Chinese language and culture, who was awarded the U.S. 
Department of State's Critical Language Scholarship.
  The Critical Language Scholarship Program is merit-based and funded 
through an annual appropriation to the U.S. Department of State's 
Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
  The scholarship program seeks to expand the number of Americans 
studying foreign languages for national security and economic 
prosperity by providing instruction abroad in fourteen key languages. 
Out of more than 5,500 student applications, Ms. Domke was among the 
572 students to be selected.
  I congratulate Lorelei on her selection for the Critical Language 
Scholarship and look forward to seeing the contributions she will make 
to our community.
