                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOSEPH CROWLEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 24, 2007

  Mr. CROWLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my 
constituent Danny Zhu of College Point, NY. Danny is one of 24 
finalists on the 2007 United States Physics Team that have been chosen 
to compete for the Traveling Team, a group of five students who will 
represent the United States at the International Physics Olympiad in 
Iran. These gifted students will show their merit against the best 
young scientific minds that the world has to offer.
  Danny is a junior at Stuyvesant High School in New York City, where 
he excels at the highest skill levels. Outside of the classroom, he is 
heavily involved in student groups, participating in everything from 
the robotics club to the school band. He has reached the semi-finals of 
the Physics Olympiad competition in each of the last 2 years and has 
placed in the top 10 in multiple national math and science 
competitions.
  I am very pleased that a young man from my district could so well 
personify Speaker Pelosi's Innovation Agenda. It is young people like 
Danny Zhu and his fellow finalists that will become our next generation 
of great innovators: the mathematicians, engineers, and scientists who 
will keep this great country competitive and prosperous in the upcoming 
decades. I would like to again congratulate Danny Zhu on his 
accomplishment and thank him for his effort and hard work.
