  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Shaikh Afaq of 
Sugar Land, TX, for being chosen to represent Texas as a Delegate at 
the Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders by the National 
Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists.
  Shaikh was nominated to this position because of her excellent 
academic record and desire to enter the Science, Technology, 
Engineering and Math (STEM) field. Through this program she will be 
able to meet some of the most important leaders in the STEM industry, 
including Nobel Prize winners and top scientific university deans. The 
Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders is hosted to help 
motivate the top students in the country to pursue their desired 
careers in the STEM fields.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Shaikh Afaq for being selected as a Delegate 
at the Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders. We are 
extremely proud and expect great things from her in the future.
