                     RECOGNIZING NICOLE MORADZADEH

  (Mr. DUARTE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DUARTE. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize Nicole Moradzadeh 
of Merced for her outstanding submission to the congressional art 
contest.
  A junior at El Capitan High School, Nicole's artwork titled, ``Give 
Thanks,'' highlights the hardworking families who are the foundation of 
California's Central Valley.
  Nicole has beautifully expressed a unique perspective through her 
captivating work. The piece resonates deeply, inspiring appreciation 
for our working families. It serves as a reminder of the power of art 
to transcend boundaries and unite us all.
  I chose this piece because it pays such excellent homage to the 
hardworking families that come to the Central Valley today to pursue 
the American Dream as so many generations have before from all over the 
world.
  I am here in recognition of Nicole to express my commitment to make 
sure that the American Dream stays alive today for future generations 
as it has for all of those generations that have come before.
