                      Tuesday, September 28, 2021

  Mrs. KIRKPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise before you today to recognize 
George Kostylov, the Principal of Kiev School No. 155 for his 
partnership with Phineas Anderson, head of Green Fields Country Day 
School in Tucson, Arizona. Mr. Kostylov and Mr. Anderson started the 
first exchange program of sixth through twelfth-grade students between 
Green Fields Country Day School and the Kiev School No. 155 in 1988. 
Through this exchange program, Mr. Kostylov helped to better 
relationships between the United States and the Soviet Union during the 
presidencies of Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. Madam Speaker, I 
ask you to join me in celebrating Mr. Kostylov's leadership to further 
world peace between our two nations through an influential student 
exchange program.
