      CONGRATULATING CONGRESSIONAL ART WINNER ALMA SWARTZENTRUBER

  (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, I rise today to recognize 
Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District 2023 Congressional Art 
Competition winner, Alma Swartzentruber.
  The annual art competition, organized by the Congressional Institute, 
showcases the artwork of high school students from across every 
congressional district in the country. Alma is a recent graduate from 
the Keystone High School in Clarion County. Her winning artwork is 
titled, ``Great Horned Owl.'' She created this piece with charcoal and 
graphite.
  Alma's work was selected by an independent panel of judges from 73 
entries, with a record number of participants in the 15th District's 
Congressional Art Competition.
  I would also like to congratulate Alma's teacher, Ms. Janet Hockman, 
and her parents for the role that they played in Alma's success.
  All of the winning pieces will be displayed for the year in the 
Cannon tunnel, where they will be viewed by Members of Congress, staff, 
and many visitors to the Capitol each and every day.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Alma on her great work. I am proud to 
have her artwork representing the 15th District.
