  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Elizabeth Ortiz 
from Katy, TX for being accepted into the National Academy of Future 
Scientists and Technologists to represent the state of Texas at the 
Congress of Future Science and Technology leaders.
  Elizabeth attends Cinco Ranch High School and is one of 13 high 
school honor students selected from the Twenty-Second Congressional 
District of Texas. These students were selected as Texas delegates at 
the Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders. This program was 
designed for high school students to be recognized for their hard work 
in school, as well as to support their aspirations of working in a 
science or technology field. The National Academy was founded by 
Richard Rossi and Dr. Robert Darling; Mr. Rossi currently serves as 
president. The Congress is being held at the Tsongas Center at

all of her hard work, and know she will make Katy proud.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas,
