  Mr. HIMES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the American 
Institute For Foreign Study (AIFS) in Stamford, Connecticut, as they 
celebrate their 60th anniversary. Since their inception in 1964, AIFS 
has pioneered cultural exchange and educational enrichment, having 
impacted the lives of over 1.8 million individuals and deepened 
relationships across international borders.
  In partnership with the U.S. Department of State, AIFS continues to 
operate a diverse selection of programs for their nearly 40,000 annual 
participants, including study and travel abroad, high school exchange, 
camp counselor, and intern/trainee programs, which epitomize the 
Administration's dedication to diverse partnerships. It is my unique 
honor to recognize the American Institute For Foreign Study for their 
60th anniversary.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating AIFS and 
their dedication to cross-cultural exchange.
