                        Wednesday, June 16, 2021

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
James Golden for receiving the Gold Medalist Congressional Award for 
2021.
  The Congressional Award is a prestigious award from the United States 
Congress and is awarded to young Americans who demonstrate excellence 
in four program areas: Voluntary Public Service, Personal Development, 
Physical Fitness and Expedition/Exploration. The program recognizes 
young people who strive to challenge themselves and reach new goals.
  James received this award because of his determination, hard work and 
achievements in these program areas. This year, James is being awarded 
the Gold Medalist Congressional Award--the highest honor and a 
tremendous accomplishment.
  This type of achievement can only be attained with hard work and 
perseverance, both of which have been exemplified by James. I applaud 
students like James who work to make the most of their education, 
commit to being lifelong learners and develop a work ethic and new 
skills which will guide them for the rest of their lives.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to James Golden for his work to 
earn the Gold Medalist Congressional Award. I have no doubt he will 
exhibit the same dedication and character in all of his future 
accomplishments.
