  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Neosho High School 
student Norma Harris on her being accepted as a delegate to the 
Congress of Future Medical Leaders by the National Academy of Future

is designed to motivate and direct the top students in the United 
States. Specifically, it's designed for students aspiring to become

medical researchers, and provides a path and mentorship for students to 
accomplish their goals.
  To be considered for acceptance as a delegate, applicants are either 
recommended by a teacher or member of the Academy based on a proven 
track record of academic excellence. Delegates represent all 50 states 
plus Puerto Rico, and must have a minimum 3.5 GPA. Students like Harris 
who qualify for this incredibly selective honor exemplify top-tier 
diligence and academic talent.
  Mr. Speaker, as a perennial Honor Roll student at her high school, 
Norma Harris has displayed elite academic qualifications, which will 
undoubtedly serve her future aspirations well. I urge my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating her for this achievement. On behalf of 
Missouri's Seventh Congressional District, I wish Norma the best of 
luck in all her future endeavors.
