        HONORING VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE FULBRIGHT SCHOLARS

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, Virginia Military Institute is world renowned 
for many achievements, but I rise today to recognize VMI for producing 
one of the highest numbers of Fulbright Scholars, nationally, for the 
2019-2020 academic year. This world-renowned program seeks to improve 
cultural relationships through the exchange of students, faculty, and 
ideas.
  The three bright individuals to receive this prestigious honor are 
Second Lieutenant Annika Tice, Colonel Howard Sanborn, and Colonel 
Geoff Jensen.
  One of only 2,200 students who received a scholarship last year, 
Second Lieutenant Tice used her Fulbright to educate others and taught 
English in the Ivory Coast.
  Colonel Sanborn, a professor of international studies and political 
science, used this opportunity to study legislative politics in Hong 
Kong.
  Colonel Jensen, a professor of history, will conduct research in 
Madrid this coming summer.
  Sanborn and Jensen were among only 470 faculty to receive a Fulbright 
distinction this year.
  With more colleges and universities than nearly any other district in 
the country, I am proud that these three individuals exemplify the 
talent that the Sixth District attracts.
  Congratulations to VMI on this noteworthy accomplishment.
