                      QIAOCHU YUAN CONGRATULATIONS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. DAVID G. REICHERT

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 5, 2008

   Mr. REICHERT. Madam Speaker, It gives me great pleasure to honor 
Qiaochu Yuan, a senior at Bellevue High School, for being named 1 of 40 
finalists in the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search, STS--
America's most prestigious research competition for high school 
seniors, often referred to as the ``junior Nobel prize.''
   Qiaochu submitted a mathematics project involving the complex and 
highly intellectual subject of algebraic geometry. His groundbreaking 
work may one day be used by future generations in the field of 
computer-aided design. On top of being named a finalist in the Intel 
STS, Qiaochu has excelled in his daily studies and will finish first in 
his graduating class of 334 this spring. Additionally, Qiaochu received 
a perfect score on his SAT test.
   Qiaochu's persistent work ethic and truly remarkable accomplishments 
provide a wonderful example for his peers at Bellevue High School and 
other aspiring scientists and mathematicians around the country. I've 
been told Qiaochu is deciding whether to attend MIT or Princeton next 
year. No matter where he takes his talent and intellect, he will surely 
continue to reach new heights and advance the boundaries of math and 
science.
