  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Ryan Stander 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, Ryan has been an accomplished 
student. This years entry in the National Science Bowl was his second 
entry in the national tournament. Ryan is very involved as a member of 
the Liberty Scholar Bowl team, Science Knowledge Bowl, National Honor 
Society, Young Democrats, and Serteens. After graduation, Ryan will 
attend Truman State University in the fall to major in history and 
political science.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Ryan 
Stander, an outstanding student from Liberty, Missouri. As a top 
student who is committed to science and mathematics, Ryan 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.
