                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 24, 2007

  Mr. TANCREDO. Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate Ms. Annie 
Luu, an accomplished Gonzaga University student from Colorado's 6th 
District. Ms. Luu and a team of fellow Gonzaga students were recently 
honored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, becoming finalists 
in the third annual EPA student design competition.
  Since 2004, the EPA has honored college students from across the 
country for their research efforts towards environmental sustainability 
through the ``P3--People, Prosperity, and the Planet'' contest. This 
year, only 41 proposed projects were chosen for development out of more 
than 100 submissions. The 41 student teams will exhibit their designs 
on the National Mall on Tuesday, April 24, 2007 at the National 
Sustainable Design Expo. The National Academy of Engineering will judge 
the competition and recommend the winners to the EPA.
  Ms. Luu and her teammates will present their project, entitled 
``Decentralized Waste Treatment and Energy Recovery in Rwanda,'' during 
this event.
  Ms. Luu and her peers should be commended for their commitment and 
contributions to environmental sustainability. I wish her all the best 
in her future endeavors.
