  CONGRATULATING UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT DALLAS ON ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. TAYLOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAYLOR. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to congratulate the 
University of Texas at Dallas on 50 years of educating students in 
north Texas.
  In 1969, Texas Governor Preston Smith signed legislation to 
officially establish the University of Texas at Dallas as part of the 
UT system. Not only has UT grown immensely in the last 50 years, but 
our community takes great pride in the university's Tier One status.
  Today, UTD offers over 140 degrees and helps young people follow 
their dreams by providing them with a top-notch education. What was 
once vast prairie land has become a hub of higher learning and an 
opportunity for students to learn across the country.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
University of Texas at Dallas on a wonderful 5 days of academic 
excellence. Whoosh.
