  HONORING JOHN CRUMPTON ON BEING ACCEPTED BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF 
FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS AS A DELEGATE TO THE CONGRESS 
                       OF FUTURE MEDICAL LEADERS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 17, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor John Crumpton, of 
Branson, Missouri,

[[Page 6455]]

who has been accepted by the National Academy of Future Physicians and 
Medical Scientists as a delegate to the Congress of Future Medical 
Leaders.
  The Congress of Future Medical 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 physicians or 
enter into the field of medical research, 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 medical field.
  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. It 
is an incredibly selective opportunity, and those students who qualify 
for selection have done so because of their hard work and diligence to 
their studies, not to mention their impressive intellect.
  Mr. Speaker, John Crumpton, who attends Branson High School, has 
shown a level of excellence in academics and passion for science that 
leaves me fully confident that he will represent Missouri well at this 
Congress. 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 district.
