  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
work of Martha Grace Fields. Martha is an exceptional young woman who 
was recently announced as a Silver Medalist for the Congressional 
Award, one of the highest honors presented to America's youth. The 
Congressional Award Foundation was created to recognize initiative, 
service, and achievement in young people. Martha has demonstrated the 
core components of this award through her servant heart and unmatched 
work ethic. She gave back to her local community by completing over 
two-hundred hours of public service. Beyond her service to others, she 
put in hundreds of hours of personal development by competing on her 
high school swim team and enrolling in numerous leadership courses and 
seminars. Additionally, Martha was one of the first females to receive 
the highest honor in Boy Scouts, the rank of Eagle Scout. 
Simultaneously, she received the highest rank in the Sea Scouts, 
Quartermaster. Martha's continued hard work has not gone unnoticed, and 
I am proud to sec her receive the recognition she deserves. I would 
like to congratulate Martha for her impressive achievements at such a 
young age and I look forward to seeing her continued success and 
leadership.
