  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to an 
outstanding young woman from Ohio's Fifth Congressional District. I am 
happy to announce that Alisa L. Fellhauer of Port Clinton, OH, has been 
offered an appointment to attend the United States Air Force Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, Alisa's offer of appointment poises her to attend the 
United States Air Force Academy with the incoming cadet class of 2007. 
Attending one of our Nation's military academies is an invaluable 
experience that offers a world-class education and demands the very 
best that these young men and women have to offer. Truly, it is one of 
the most challenging and rewarding undertakings of their lives.
  Alisa brings a special mix of leadership, service, and dedication to 
the incoming class of Air Force Academy cadets. While attending Port 
Clinton High School, Port Clinton, OH, Alisa has attained a grade point 
average of 3.88, which places her thirteenth in her class of one 
hundred sixty one students. During her time at Port Clinton High 
School, Alisa has received several commendations for her superior 
scholastic efforts. During her first year, she received the Kiwanis 
Scholar Athlete Award. Her second year was marked by her being again 
awarded the Kiwanis Scholar Athlete Award as well as being inducted 
into the National Honor Society. Alisa went on in her senior year to 
maintain her role in the National Honor Society as well being selected 
for participation in a highly selective biology program.
  Outside the classroom, Alisa has distinguished herself as an 
excellent student-athlete and dedicated citizen of Port Clinton. On the 
fields of friendly strife, Alisa has participated in Varsity Cross 
County, Varsity Basketball, and Varsity Softball. She is a three time 
Cross Country letter recipient and served as the Team Captain her 
senior year. In addition to her athletic accomplishments, Alisa is an 
active member in her community participating in Key Club, Future 
Professionals in Medicine, National Honor Society, Relay for Life, and 
the Buckeye Girl's State.
  Mr. Speaker, I would ask my colleagues to stand and join me in paying 
special tribute to Alisa L. Fellhauer. Our service academies offer the 
finest education and military training available anywhere in the world. 
I am sure that Alisa will do very well during her career at Air Force 
and I wish her the very best in all of her future endeavors.
