                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 2, 2001

  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Jill Solomon on earning the prestigious Fulbright Award, which will 
allow her to teach and study in the United Kingdom during the upcoming 
academic year.
  Established by Congress in 1946, the Fulbright Award program is the 
oldest U.S. Government sponsored academic exchange program. Recipients 
of Fulbright Awards are selected on the basis of academic and 
professional achievement as well as leadership potential in one's 
respective field. In receiving this award, Ms. Solomon was one of only 
200 teachers out of seven hundred and fifty applicants to earn the 
Fulbright Award.
  Therefore Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in thanking 
Jill Solomon for her continued devotion to excellence in education and 
congratulate her for receiving the Fulbright Award.
