  Mr. KIM. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to take this 
opportunity to recognize three outstanding young men and budding 
engineers who I have the honor to represent: Jeff Carroll, Cory Jobst, 
and Jacob Smith. Last Wednesday, February 23, 1994, these three eighth-
grade students from Bernardo Yorba Junior High School of Yorba Linda, 
CA, won the National Engineers Week Future City Contest by designing 
and building a futuristic model city.
  The contest required students to create a low-stress, energy-
efficient, and people-friendly city environment. Each team developed a 
design, built a model, and wrote an essay. Competing against other fine 
regional teams from Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Milwaukee, and 
Washington, Jeff, Cory, and Jacob created the City of Ancona, a design 
that minimized pollution, emphasized public transportation, streamlined 
emergency services, and raised revenue by selling electricity from 
city-owned fusion-energy plants.
  As an engineer myself, I am especially proud of Jeff, Cory, and 
Jacob. I sincerely hope that these fine young men will build on their 
accomplishment and someday help make their fictional city a reality.
