                        Wednesday, June 30, 2021

  Ms. HERRERA BEUTLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Elaina Koenig, from Ethel, Washington for being awarded 
the Congressional Award Gold Medal.
  Every year, the Congressional Award Foundation honors a select number 
of young Americans with Congress' highest honor--The Congressional 
Award Gold Medal. The award encourages our youth to set ambitious goals 
and put in the work and dedication to achieve them.
  Elaina completed 800 hours to hone her skills in four areas: 
Voluntary Public Service, Personal Development, Physical Fitness, and 
Expedition/Exploration activities. Her commitment and dedication to her 
goals are exactly why Elaina is being recognized for this prestigious 
award.
  Once again, I want to congratulate Elaina on receiving this honor and 
I wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.
