             CELEBRATING THE LIFE AND MEMORY OF ARJUN KAPUR

  (Mr. DELUZIO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DELUZIO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life and 
memory of an incredible young man in western Pennsylvania, Arjun Kapur, 
who sadly passed away at the young age of 17.
  Arjun was passionate about his love of country and wanted to make our 
country better. He had a lot of ideas about how to do that, and he 
acted on those.
  He was an intern with my team and was part of Congressman Jamie 
Raskin's Democracy Summer program.
  In just 17 years, Arjun did a lot. He attended Sewickley Academy and 
competed in mock trial, Model UN and EU, and he founded the Sewickley 
Law Review.
  He worked hard, and he was an avid archer. He rode horses. He played 
guitar. He painted, and he traveled the world with his family.
  He planned to attend The George Washington University this fall on a 
Presidential scholarship, no doubt well-earned.
  Arjun's life was cut far too short, and yet still, he made a lasting 
impact on so many, including me.
  He will be dearly missed by his family: his parents, Bobby and Jayne; 
his brother, Dylan; and so many others in western Pennsylvania and 
beyond.
  Arjun would want all of us to keep up the fight to make this country 
of ours the shining city on a Hill that he dreamed it could be.
