                        Monday, January 28, 2008

  Mr. TANCREDO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to one of my 
constituents, Ms. Amanda Hilton of Castle Rock, Colorado. Ms. Hilton 
teaches English as a foreign language while attending Colby College and 
is a recipient of the prestigious Fulbright Award. This grant is given 
to promising individuals to aid them in their academic and cultural 
pursuits abroad.
  The Fulbright Program was established by Congress in 1946 and is 
sponsored by the U.S. State Department. This program was designed to 
help build mutual understanding between Americans and the global 
community. Individuals who are awarded this distinction have 
demonstrated outstanding academic or professional achievement and have 
proven themselves as leaders in their field.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in paying tribute to Ms. Hilton and 
wishing her the best in her future endeavors.
