  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Jaelynn Walls, 
for earning the Girl Scouts of the USA Gold Award, the most prestigious 
Girl Scout honor.
  Jaelynn is a tenth-grader at Carnegie Vanguard High School. She 
earned the award for her diligent work and dedication to spread her 
``No Texts, No Wrecks'' campaign. Jaelynn recruited more than 15 
volunteers to accompany her to driving schools in her community to 
stress the importance of not texting and driving. She also collected 
more than 400 pledges from young drivers who promised to not text and 
drive. Jaelynn has been a member of the San Jacinto Council for 13 
years and previously earned the Girl Scout Bronze and Silver Awards. 
What an accomplished young woman.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Jaelynn Walls for receiving the Girl Scouts of 
the USA Gold Award.
