  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate University of 
Houston (UH) President and UH System Chancellor Renu Khator for 
receiving the ``Pride of India Award.''
  This award honors individuals who have demonstrated exemplary 
leadership abilities in business or civic life and acted as role models 
for Indians and Indian-Americans in the United States. The Twenty-
Second Congressional District of Texas includes a thriving Indo-
American community, which benefits from strong community leaders like 
Dr. Khator. Moreover, the entire Houston economy benefits from the 
remarkable contributions of the UH educational community.
  I applaud President Renu Khator on her remarkable progress in 
strengthening University of Houston's educational system. On behalf of 
the residents of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, I 
congratulate Dr. Khator for receiving the ``Pride of India Award.''
