  Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Farah Jooma on 
achieving the Girl Scout Gold Award. Receiving the Gold Award is a 
testament to Miss Jooma's leadership, citizenship, and service to her 
community.
  For her Gold Award project, Farah Jooma worked with Parkland Hospital 
and researched alternatives more medical insurance. She created a 
brochure that she distributed to healthcare clinics throughout the 
Dallas Fort-Worth area. She also held seminars discussing ways of 
trying to improve medical insurance.
  The Girl Scouts of America promotes a positive influence for young 
women of today. I am honored to represent Farah Jooma in earning the 
highest award bestowed in Girl Scouts. I commend her commitment and 
dedication for the betterment of her life, her community, and her 
country.
