              INDIANA'S EARLY COLLEGE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize seven high 
schools located in Indiana's Sixth District for their extraordinary 
Early College Development Program that I observed when I was at 
Lawrenceburg High School.
  Participating in this program are also high schools in Greensburg, 
Connersville, Richmond, Muncie Central, Delta, and the New Castle 
Career Center.
  The Early College Development Program provides students the ability 
to earn both a high school diploma and an associate's degree or up to 2 
years' college credit towards a bachelor's degree. The Early College 
Development Program also provides higher learning at a much lower cost, 
with early college tuition waived for some students.
  I am proud to see the Hoosier State being a leader in education, 
preparing our students for the future, and finding solutions to fight 
the rising cost of higher education.
