           RECOGNIZING ART COMPETITION WINNER LIERA BERTOLSIO

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, today I welcome Liera 
Bertolsio and her family to Washington, D.C. to celebrate her great 
accomplishment.
  Liera is the 2022 winner of Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional 
District Congressional Art Contest.
  The annual art competition, organized by the Congressional Institute, 
showcases the creative talents of high school students from across 
every congressional district in the country.
  Liera has just finished her sophomore year at Forest Hills High 
School located in Sidman, Pennsylvania. Her work ``Girl with Pearl 
Earring'' is an acrylic painting on canvas.
  This year, 81 students entered Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional 
District art competition. Liera's work was selected by a panel of 
independent judges. The 2022 competition had our largest number of 
entries to date.
  All the winning pieces from around the country will be displayed for 
the year in the Cannon tunnel where they will be viewed by Members of 
Congress, staff, and those who visit the Capitol every day.
  Mr. Speaker, once again, I congratulate Liera on her remarkable 
achievement.
