                        TRIBUTE TO JEREMY RENNER

 Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Jeremy Renner, one of Hollywood's most electrifying and influential 
actors.
  Throughout his career, Jeremy Renner has clearly displayed his 
versatility as an actor, with an ability to bring an extensive range of 
characters to life. His breakout role in ``The Hurt Locker'' earned him 
his first Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. With his distinct 
boldness and gravitas, Mr. Renner continued making his mark on 
Hollywood in blockbuster franchises, including ``Mission: Impossible--
Ghost Protocol'', ``Mission: Impossible--Rogue Nation'', and ``The 
Bourne Legacy.''
  Additionally, Mr. Renner is well known for his portrayal of Clint 
Barton, also known as Hawkeye, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Mr. 
Renner crafted a character that combines action-star grandeur with 
emotional nuance, making Hawkeye a beloved character that captures 
audiences over multiple blockbuster films and the Disney+ series 
``Hawkeye.''
  Mr. Renner currently stars in ``Mayor of Kingstown'', a thrilling 
crime drama in which his character Mike McLusky maneuvers through a 
morally tangled web of local politics and prisons. His upcoming role 
will be in the much-anticipated third ``Knives Out'' installment, 
``Wake Up Dead Man.''
  Mr. Renner's impact extends beyond his acting career as a New York 
Times bestselling author and nonprofit founder. Following a near-fatal 
accident, he wrote ``My Next Breath: A Memoir'', a deeply personal 
memoir that chronicles his road to recovery despite insurmountable 
odds.
  In 2023, Mr. Renner launched the RennerVation Foundation with his 
sister Kym Renner. The RennerVation Foundation empowers foster youth in 
Nevada to thrive through access to resources, education, and life-
changing opportunities. At Camp RennerVation, foster and at-risk youth 
find community, lifelong mentors, and develop tools to navigate complex 
emotions. Nestled in the wilderness of Lake Tahoe, Camp RennerVation 
fosters connection, joy, and personal growth. Through his foundation, 
Mr. Renner continues to impact youth beyond the movie screen and 
empower them to be future leaders in their communities.
  We are honored to welcome Jeremy Renner as the keynote speaker at the 
2025 Lake Tahoe Summit, and I ask all Members to join me in thanking 
Jeremy Renner for his tremendous contributions on screen and through 
his RennerVation Foundation.
