                       HONORING ELIZABETH BRUNER

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Elizabeth Bruner of Blairsville, Pennsylvania. Elizabeth was recently 
honored by the National 4-H Shooting Sports Teen Ambassador program.
  4-H has a storied past across the country--in rural America in 
particular--and has created youth programs that have fostered 
agricultural innovation.
  Some of Elizabeth's favorite 4-H activities include breeding and 
market livestock, wildlife, forestry, and her favorite: shooting 
sports.
  Elizabeth was selected as one of two individuals by a committee of 4-
H educators from across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to be a teen 
ambassador for Pennsylvania to promote 4-H and 4-H shooting sports. 
Ambassadors receive training that they can take back to their 
communities to advocate for 4-H at the county, regional, and State 
level.
  During her experience as an ambassador, Elizabeth will further her 
skills in public presentation, citizenship, community service, as well 
as many other areas.
  I am certain Elizabeth will represent this organization and promote 
its purpose well.
