                       Tuesday, December 20, 2022

  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 22 North 
Texans who have gone above and beyond representing our country--and our 
community--around the world as Fulbright scholars.
  These North Texas leaders were hand-picked for the highly prestigious 
Fulbright Program based on their exemplary merit:
  Anastasia Badillo, Madisen Caster, Saltanat Childress, Christine Cho, 
Rahul Dadwani, Katherine Dau, Susannah Dibble, Cristina Flores 
Rodriguez, Pablo Gonzales, Dimitar Grantcharov, Apurva Gunturu, Jon 
Paul Heyne, Gretta Hotz, Shirin Khakoo, Courtney Kobos, Josiah 
Lindquist, Connor Mitchell, Kathleen Painter, Elizabeth Parker, Jose Ma 
Rios, Nikitha Vicas, and Joshua Yudkin.
  Through international educational exchange, they forged lasting 
relations between the United States and fifteen countries across the 
globe.
  I am immensely proud to represent such active and determined 
scholars, peacekeepers, and American heroes. I look forward to seeing 
the positive results of their hard work abroad.
