                    RECOGNITION OF ARJUN ANAND SURI

  Mrs. Boxer. Madam President, today I bring to the Senate's 
attention an exceptional and talented student, Arjun Anand Suri, 17, of 
Clovis West High School in Fresno, CA. Arjun is the son of Doctors 
Madhav and Anuradha Suri.
  Arjun Suri was recently named a California finalist in the 2004 Intel 
Science Talent Search for his biochemistry project. The Intel Science 
Talent search recognizes and rewards America's brightest young minds 
for their achievements in science and math. Over 1,600 students applied 
nationwide for the 2004 Intel Science Talent Search, and the filed has 
been narrowed to 40 finalists. A grand prize winner will be selected on 
March 16 in Washington, DC. I am proud that my State of California has 
three finalists.
  At Clovis West High School, Arjun is on the varsity tennis team, is 
captain of the academic decathlon team, vice president of his class and 
president of the Indian-Pakistani Club. Arjun is an excellent student 
who has earned perfect SAT scores and has many awards in science, math, 
history and writing. Arjun also finds time to volunteer in his 
community as an emergency room volunteer. I applaud his dedication to 
his studies and to his community.
  California is proud of Arjun Suri, and I am pleased to recognize his 
outstanding accomplishment. I wish him the best of luck at the final 
awards event and continued success in his education.
