               PENN STATE IS IMPORTANT NATIONAL RESOURCE

  (Mr. KELLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KELLER. Madam Speaker, last month, I toured Penn State University 
Park campus located in Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District.
  During that time, I had the opportunity to speak with students, 
staff, and faculty about ongoing projects and why they are proud to be 
part of an internationally sought-after education program.
  Penn State University was founded as a land grant university, meaning 
its mission is to serve the public, especially the people of 
Pennsylvania.
  After my tour of the campus and seeing their impressive research 
facilities, I can say with confidence that Penn State remains focused 
on that original mission. Whether it is helping the agriculture 
community with ag extensions or working on important defense-related 
research for the Federal Government, Penn State is an important State 
and national resource.
  I look forward to continuing to work with Penn State in carrying out 
its public mission and remaining a premier national institution.
