            CONGRATULATIONS TO WARD MELVILLE PROBLEM SOLVERS

                                 ______


                      HON. GEORGE J. HOCHBRUECKNER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 3, 1994

  Mr. HOCHBRUECKNER. Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to honor two 
outstanding young constituents from the First Congressional District of 
New York, Aurelio Teleman and Eric Gandt from Ward Melville High 
School. Aurelio Teleman and Eric Gandt were recently named as finalists 
in the NYNEX Science and Technology Awards Program.
  This is the first year for the NYNEX Foundation scholarship program 
for high school seniors. The program requires students to team up in 
groups of two to four to design practical solutions to community 
problems using science and technology. Nearly 1,221 students, forming 
398 teams from throughout the New York metropolitan area, participated 
in the competition. Twelve teams were selected as finalists, whose 
projects will be judged by science teachers and Nobel Laureates in 
Washington on the weekend of April 30 to May 2.
  Aurelio Teleman and Eric Gandt reached the finals by proposing to 
combine a refrigerator and a hot water heater to increase the 
refrigerator's efficiency by 20 percent. This is accomplished by 
capturing the heat generated by the refrigerator and piping it into the 
hot water heater. The result is lowered heating costs and improved 
energy efficiency.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend these two outstanding students for their fine 
work. I am proud to represent both Aurelio Teleman and Eric Gandt and 
their fellow students and teachers at Ward Melville High School. I wish 
them the best of luck in the finals and continued success in their 
future endeavors.
