                      Thursday, September 6, 2007

  Mr. TANCREDO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to one of my 
constituents Ms. Krista Barthel of Littleton, Colorado, who will attend 
a People to People World Leadership Forum in 2008. Her outstanding 
academic merits and communal involvement have

laid a solid foundation of individual integrity and dedication: Both 
characteristics of a qualified leader. I am honored to represent such a 
promising young woman.
  Created in 1956, the People to People Program is an educational 
travel program dedicated to fostering leadership potential in youth 
worldwide. People to People has helped more than 200,000 students and 
professionals develop their leadership skills based upon Dwight D. 
Eisenhower's belief that ``people can make a difference where 
governments cannot.'' This unique interaction and exposure will enable 
Ms. Krista Barthel to gain a greater understanding and insider's 
perspective of Washington, DC.
  Madam Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to acknowledge one of 
Colorado's own. Please join me in congratulating Ms. Krista Barthel and 
wishing her the best in her future endeavors.
