             CELEBRATING INDIANA UNIVERSITY'S BICENTENNIAL

  (Mr. HOLLINGSWORTH asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. HOLLINGSWORTH. Madam Speaker, on January 20, Hoosiers will 
celebrate a big milestone. Indiana University will turn 200 and share 
those 200 years of academic excellence and notable achievements with 
the whole world.
  For 200 years, Indiana University has provided top learning 
opportunities to Hoosiers and out-of-staters alike, with countless job 
opportunities to those in the Bloomington area. It is world-renowned 
for programs like the Jacobs School of Music, the Kelley School of 
Business, and Hoosier basketball.
  Since its establishment in 1820, Hoosiers have graduated from IU and 
gone off to change the world. Indiana's faculty and alumni include 
Rhodes scholars, Nobel laureates, Olympic medalists, and Pulitzer Prize 
winners, just to name a few.
  IU's bicentennial will be celebrated on campus in Bloomington by 
alumni across the globe and through immense contributions every single 
day that the Hoosiers at Indiana University make.
  Big Red 200 is a new supercomputer whose name reflects our 
bicentennial and the common ``Go Big Red'' cheer played at football and 
basketball games. Big Red 200 is the fourth in IU's Big Red computer 
series and is on pace to become the fastest university-owned 
supercomputer in the Nation.
  As a member of the House Financial Services Task Force on Artificial 
Intelligence, I have seen the exciting opportunities America has to 
invest in AI transform a number of sectors like healthcare and 
financial services through that continued data sciences research, and I 
am confident that IU will be at the forefront.
  Madam Speaker, I extend congratulations on 200 years, and I look 
forward to the next 200 years of academic excellence.
