                        Wednesday, May 11, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Springfield Catholic 
High School student Hunter Clouse, of Springfield, Missouri, on his 
being accepted as a delegate to the Congress of Future Scientists and 
Technology Leaders by the National Academy of Future Scientists and 
Technologists.
  The Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders is an honors-
only program that is designed to motivate and direct the top students 
in the United States. It is specifically for students who aspire to be 
scientists, engineers and technologists, and helps to provide a path 
and mentorship for students to accomplish those dreams. It takes place 
at the University of Massachusetts over 3 days, and helps to spark 
meaningful dialogues and exchanges of ideas between future leaders in 
the fields of science and technology.
  To be considered for acceptance as a delegate, applicants must be 
recommended by either a teacher or member of the Academy based on a 
proven track record of academic excellence. Students must have a 
minimum of a 3.5 GPA and represent all 50 states and Puerto Rico. 
Students like Clouse, who qualify for this incredibly selective honor, 
exemplify top-tier diligence and academic talent.
  Mr. Speaker, Hunter Clouse has dedicated himself to his studies and 
exhibited a passion for science and technology. He will soon be 
representing the future of the state of Missouri at this conference, 
and I have the utmost confidence that he will do an excellent job. I 
would like to extend my personal congratulations for his achievement, 
and on behalf of the 7th District of Missouri, I would like to thank 
him for representing our community.

                          ____________________
