                    CONGRATULATING KIMBERLY SALTSMAN

  (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 before you today to 
recognize Kimberly Saltsman for her outstanding work in the district.
  Ms. Saltsman, who is the executive director of the Mount Nittany 
Health Children's Advocacy Center of Centre County, was honored as a 
Pennsylvania Blue Ribbon Champion for Safe Kids by the Pennsylvania 
Family Support Alliance in Harrisburg at the beginning of April.
  This award is given to those who dedicate themselves to protecting 
children across the Commonwealth. The award is distributed annually 
during Child Abuse Prevention Month in April.
  Ms. Saltsman has worked with the Children's Advocacy Center since 
2014, when it was founded. During her time there, she has conducted 
more than 260 child forensic interviews. Prior to working at the 
center, she worked for the Behavioral Health Division at CenClear.
  The Children's Advocacy Center provides diligent work for the 
children of Pennsylvania, having completed more than 1,900 medical 
exams and conducted 2,300 forensic interviews in the last 10 years. 
During Child Abuse Prevention Month, we must recognize those who are 
essential to safeguarding our youth.
  Ms. Saltsman was one of four recipients of the award this year. I 
congratulate her on this award and thank her for all she does to 
protect the children in our community.
