                        Thursday, July 31, 2008

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sandy Huang, of 
Ames, Iowa, one of fifty outstanding U.S. high school students selected 
to attend the twenty-fifth annual Research Science Institute sponsored 
by the Center for Excellence in Education and the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology.
  The mission of the Center for Excellence in Education is to nurture 
young scholars to careers of excellence and leadership in science, 
technology, engineering, and mathematics. The Research Science 
Institute is a highly competitive six-week program which emphasizes 
advanced theory and research in mathematics, the sciences, and 
engineering. Sandy was selected for this program upon scoring in the 
upper one-percent of those in the U.S. who took the PSAT exam. From 
June to August 2008, Sandy will learn from distinguished professors and 
conduct a research project.
  I commend Sandy Huang for his commitment to leadership in science and 
technology. He is a future leader of this country of whom Iowa is very 
proud. I am honored to represent Sandy in the United States Congress 
and I wish him the best in future endeavors.
