                         Friday, April 12, 2024

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Anthony Yan of 
Westminster, Colorado. Anthony is one of only a few high school 
students across the country to be awarded the prestigious National 
Security Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) scholarship. As part of this 
program, Anthony will travel to Taiwan this summer to engage in 
intensive instruction in the Mandarin language, while living with a 
local host family and becoming immersed in Taiwanese culture.
  Launched in 2006, NSLI-Y gives high-achieving American high school 
students the opportunity to gain rigorous instruction and immersive 
experiences learning languages critical to America's national security 
and global cooperation. Many NSLI-Y alumni go on to distinguished 
careers in national security and public service using the language 
skills gained through this scholarship program.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, 
it is my honor to congratulate Anthony Yan for this impressive 
accomplishment and wish him all the best on his upcoming travels to 
Taiwan.
