                        Wednesday, May 23, 2007

  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, I rise to acknowledge the 
accomplishments of Timothy J. Craddock, Marguerite Gabriele, Jessica E. 
Shay, and Avi M. Wolfson as the recipients of this year's Undergraduate 
Research Fellowships at the University of Texas at Austin. They have 
been selected to receive scholarships to pursue research in their 
respective areas of interest.
  The University of Texas in Austin offers financial support for 
students who undertake scholarly research projects through 
Undergraduate Research Fellowships. Since its inception in 1996, the 
fellowship has remained committed to enriching academic experiences by 
providing 236 students with over $200,000 over the past 10 years to 
support efforts in their area of study.
  After competing in a rigorous application process that included 
resume submissions, itemized budget proposals, and faculty 
recommendations, these four outstanding students from the 32nd District 
of Texas were selected. They were chosen with the anticipation that 
their efforts would assist in future studies of the field and 
contribute to the researchers' disciplines. The high caliber of these 
students' achievements is truly impressive and for that I wish to 
acknowledge them to my congressional colleagues.
  It is my honor to recognize these students. The people of the 32nd 
District of Texas are proud of their successes. I wish the recipients 
the best of luck in both present and future endeavors.

                          ____________________
