               RECOGNIZING JOSHUA LAYOG OF MONTCLAIR, VA

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. GERALD E. CONNOLLY

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 13, 2011

  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Joshua 
Layog of Montclair, Virginia, for his participation in the People to 
People World Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C.
  People to People offers young leaders the opportunity to grow 
educationally while exposing them to new cultures. Founded in 1956 
under the auspices of the Eisenhower Administration, People to People 
has continuously enjoyed Presidential support for its mission of 
instilling our nation's next generation of leaders with the 
international experience they will need to succeed in an increasingly 
global society and economy.
  Joshua's acceptance to the program is no small accomplishment. 
Academically selective, the program is built for the brightest students 
in the nation. From June 20-24, Joshua participated in numerous 
educational activities in the Washington, D.C., area, all of which were 
focused on leadership development. Joshua and his fellow participants 
gained access to areas of American government rarely seen at such a 
young age, and that experience will serve him well in his studies.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Joshua 
Layog and wishing him continued success in the future.
