            RECOGNIZING WINNERS OF GIRL SCOUTS SILVER AWARD

  (Mr. SPANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. SPANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize three incredible young 
ladies from my district who recently received the Girl Scouts Silver 
Award.
  Saylor Purks, Presley Lomel, and Amanda Whittlesey are freshmen at 
high schools in Hillsborough County. To earn their Girl Scouts Silver 
Award, these young ladies were tasked with creating a project that 
would make a change for the better in their school or neighborhood.
  After witnessing their classmates engaging in vaping, the students 
chose to present an antivaping presentation about the growing issue and 
the dangers of tobacco use.
  This message couldn't be more timely. Saylor, Presley, and Amanda 
shared their presentation during the 2019-2020 back-to-school 
orientation, and they hope their message can be shared at all middle 
schools and high schools nationwide.
  I would like to personally thank these brilliant young leaders for 
taking the time and initiative to educate their peers. I am sure we 
will see more outstanding things from these very special young ladies 
in the future.
