                          EXTENSIONS OF REMARKS

                      IN HONOR OF BRITTANY HULINGS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JASON ALTMIRE

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 26, 2007

  Mr. ALTMIRE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Brittany 
Hulings, who has been selected as a 2007 Presidential Scholar. Ms. 
Hulings lives in Sewickley Hills, Pennsylvania and recently graduated 
from Quaker Valley High School. She is an exemplary citizen and a 
wonderful example of what our students are capable of achieving.
  Since 1964, the Presidential Scholars program has honored the 
nation's most distinguished graduating high school seniors. Applicants 
are judged based on their performance in the classroom, their 
commitment to the ideals of service and their aptitude for leadership. 
Recipients must excel in all of these areas. Earning this recognition 
is so competitive that of the over 3 million seniors who graduated this 
year, only 141 were chosen as Presidential Scholars.
  In addition to her excellent academic record, Ms. Hulings has 
distinguished herself as a student athlete. Due to both her scholastic 
achievements and her skills as a golfer, she was selected as the 
Pittsburgh First Tees Scholar for 2007, and she also earned the 
Pritchett Young Ventures Scholarship. She also boasts a proven record 
of service, having been active in the state YMCA.
  I am honored to have the opportunity to recognize Ms. Hulings's 
exceptional achievement of becoming a Presidential Scholar. 
Additionally, I would also like to recognize Ms. Hulings's parents, 
teachers, coaches and other role models, whom I am sure played a 
significant role in molding such a remarkable young woman.
