                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 17, 2020

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Colonel Andrew ``Coby'' Short of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania for his 
service to Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District on the 2020 U.S. 
Service Academy Nomination Committee.
  Nominating exceptional candidates to attend our nation's service 
academies is one of my most important responsibilities in Congress. 
During this process, I rely on members of the Service Academy 
Nomination Committee, which is comprised of dedicated volunteers who 
have served our nation with distinction.
  Colonel Short is one of nine academy alumni who graciously 
volunteered their time to meet with and evaluate perspective nominees 
for the Class of 2025. As a graduate of the United States Military 
Academy in West Point, New York, Colonel Short knows firsthand the 
qualities and dedication that are critical for succeeding at the 
academies. He provided wise counsel and expertise throughout the 
nominating process, and I am grateful for his time and commitment.
  Colonel Andrew ``Coby'' Short is an outstanding Pennsylvanian and 
American, as well as an excellent role model for future academy 
students. On behalf of the 13th District of Pennsylvania, it is my 
honor to recognize Colonel Short for his service to our community and 
our nation.
