 ========================= END NOTE ========================= 


to recognize Justine Thomas of Westminster, Colorado for receiving the 
  United States Department of State Benjamin A. Gilman International 
  Scholarship. As part of this prestigious honor, Justine traveled to 
  Cyprus to study abroad.U.S. Study Abroad programs are an important 
component of the federal government's efforts to ensure Americans of 
all backgrounds have the opportunity to gain global experiences and 
work across our borders to help address our world's greatest 
challenges. The Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship provides exceptional 
undergraduate students with the opportunity to expand their cultural 
proficiencies, study critical need languages, and conduct STEM 
research. The scholarship has empowered over 41,000 individuals with 
financial need to engage in people-to-people diplomacy and prepare for 
distinguished careers in public service.
  I commend Justine for pursuing an exemplary international education 
and representing America abroad as a citizen ambassador. This 
scholarship rightly recognizes a commitment to academic excellence. Mr 
Speaker, it is a privilege to recognize Justine's many accomplishments.
