            CONGRATULATING RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE

  (Mr. TONKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the incredible 
students and faculty from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for their 
stellar first-place ranking in the 2023 National Cyber League 
competition.
  The National Cyber League is a cybersecurity skills competition that 
reinforces learning, encourages collaboration, and develops students' 
necessary skills for future careers within the cybersecurity field.
  The students at RPI, coached by Dr. Brian Callahan, placed first in 
the Nation out of a pool of more than 8,500 students and more than 500 
colleges and universities around our great country.
  Their achievement is truly remarkable, and I offer my hearty 
congratulations to these students and my thanks to the dedicated 
coaches and professors whose support and encouragement enabled this 
terrific success.
  I congratulate Team RPI, and I appreciate the great work they have 
done.
