      RECOGNIZING SRIKAR KARRI, CONGRESSIONAL APP CHALLENGE WINNER

  (Mr. LUTTRELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LUTTRELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
Congressional App Challenge winner of Texas' Eighth Congressional 
District, Srikar Karri.
  A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of meeting Srikar and learning 
about the app that he created. I can assure you, it is nothing short of 
absolutely amazing.

  Srikar's app, OncoGAT, is an AI system that can identify types of 
breast cancer and generate a treatment plan in a matter of seconds. He 
also built a companion tool that analyzes patient reports and provides 
Molecular Tumor Board-level recommendations to neurologists.
  What is really inspiring is the reason behind the app. He noticed a 
problem. Harris County reports more new breast cancer cases than any 
other county in the State of Texas, with over 2,200 each year. It is 
not often you see someone at Srikar's age who has the unique ability to 
combine his God-given talent and his desire to help others.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank and encourage Srikar Karri to go forward and do 
great things. On behalf of the Texas Eighth Congressional District, I 
congratulate Srikar and his family on the outstanding work. I look 
forward to hearing about his future accomplishments.
