  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize John Ahlfield 
of Liberty, Missouri. He has spent many hours of study and preparation 
as a member of the Liberty High School Science Bowl Team. After 
numerous competitions and a victory in the regional competition, the 
Liberty High School Science Bowl Team earned a spot to compete in the 
2006 National Science Bowl Competition in Washington, D.C.
  As one of America's best and brightest, John has been an accomplished 
student. He is a member of Serteens and the National Honor Society. He 
joined the Liberty Scholar Bowl Team as a sophomore, then became a 
Varsity member and captain his junior year. Among his favorite subjects 
are science and mathematics and he hopes to pursue a degree in chemical 
engineering after graduating from Liberty High School.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing John 
Ahlfield, an outstanding student from Liberty, Missouri. As a top 
student who is committed to science and mathematics, John will 
certainly have a bright and fulfilling future. I commend him for his 
achievements and I am honored to represent him in the United States 
Congress.
