                GEORGIA-12 YOUTH LEADERSHIP SUMMIT 2016

  (Mr. ALLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, last Thursday, my office hosted the first-
ever Georgia-12 Youth Leadership Summit at Georgia Southern University. 
Over 400 students and educators from around Georgia's 12th 
Congressional District represented their high schools at the summit. I 
was amazed by the turnout. The energy of the students was inspiring.
  Many thanks to Colonel Sam Anderson, Garrison Commander at Fort 
Gordon; Stephanie Miller, morning host of Hot Country Hits Y96; Tyson 
Summers, head football coach at Georgia Southern University; and 
Congressman Tom Graves of the 14th District of Georgia, for sharing 
their experiences with these young leaders.
  These students are the future leaders of Georgia and our country, and 
I want them to realize their potential, and I want to see them succeed.
  I would like to give a special thanks to Georgia Southern University 
for hosting us, and members of my staff for their hard work in 
organizing and setting up this event.
  Our district is very fortunate to have these great students and 
educators. It was evident that the young folks of Georgia-12 are an 
exceptional class of leaders who will step up to any occasion.
  What a wonderful honor it was to host this important event last 
Thursday in Statesboro, Georgia.
