            WELCOMING PENN STATE LION CAUCUS TO CAPITOL HILL

  (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 today to welcome 
the Penn State Lion Caucus to Capitol Hill.
  Lion Caucus is a university-affiliated student organization connected 
to the Office of Government and Community Relations. Lion Caucus 
promotes the official message and positive impact of Penn State 
University to local, State, and Federal elected officials. It also 
educates students about legislation and policies that impact the 
university and students. Each year, Lion Caucus organizes and executes 
Capital Day, Penn State's annual State advocacy event.
  The organization also hosts seminars for students across campus, 
holds meetings in Harrisburg with legislators and lobbyists, and 
welcomes elected officials to University Park.
  Lion Caucus is made up of a diverse group of undergraduate and 
graduate students from any background or major.
  As a graduate of Penn State, I am proud of these students for 
devoting their time and resources to educating and advocating for their 
fellow students, promoting civic engagement, and showcasing the Penn 
State community--We Are.
