  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Missouri City, 
Texas for earning the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) 2015 Parks 
and Natural Areas Award.
  The H-GAC Areas Award projects help promote positive projects for the 
surrounding parks and natural areas. The Missouri City SOWING Project 
Community Garden won in the Policy Tools category. This project, done 
by Men for Change, Inc., promotes a healthy lifestyle for people of all 
ages through informing families on proper nutrition and the importance 
of a balanced diet. We are extremely proud of Missouri City and thank 
them for their commitment to improving the quality of life for its 
residents.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations to Missouri City for receiving this award and helping 
to strengthen our community.
