                    CONGRATULATING NATALIE NAVARRETE

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
University of Georgia's Natalie Navarrete for being named a 2023 Rhodes 
Scholar, an honor received by only the most outstanding young minds 
from around the world.
  As many of you know, the Rhodes Scholarship is the oldest and most 
celebrated international fellowship award in the world. To be 
recognized with such an honor is synonymous with the qualities typical 
of the brightest people this country has to offer: hardworking, 
brilliant, and boundary pushing.
  Natalie is no exception. A Morehead Honors College student and 
foundation fellow at the University of Georgia, Natalie is pursuing 
degrees in international affairs, Russian, Spanish, and Latin American 
and Caribbean studies.
  She will continue her studies at the University of Oxford in October 
where she plans to pursue a master's degree in Russian and Eastern 
European studies. I have no doubt that she will continue to excel in 
these studies and make important breakthroughs in her field.

  I join the entire University of Georgia family in congratulating 
Natalie on this truly extraordinary achievement. Her success is a 
testament to world-class opportunities offered by the University of 
Georgia, and I am confident that she will continue to make us all proud 
for years to come.
