      ENCOURAGING APPLICATIONS FOR UNITED STATES SERVICE ACADEMIES

  (Ms. SCANLON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SCANLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to encourage young people in 
my district to learn more about the opportunities offered by our U.S. 
service academies.
  One of the greatest honors of being a Member of Congress is having 
the ability to nominate outstanding students for appointment to West 
Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy, and the Merchant 
Marine Academy.
  As high school students contemplate what they will do after 
graduation, I encourage them to consider the benefits of attending one 
of our service academies, including the unique opportunities for 
leadership and entry to a range of careers, at no cost to the student 
or their family.
  The process is competitive, so it is never too early to get started.
  I encourage any students in Pennsylvania's Fifth Congressional 
District who might be interested in attending a service academy to 
attend our next virtual information session hosted by my office on May 
27 at 7 p.m. They may sign up at scanlon.house.gov.

  I look forward to nominating another amazing group of young leaders 
to the service academies this fall.
