  Mr. WU. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer my congratulations to 
Arjun Kandaswamy for his accomplishments in the Oregon State Geography 
Bee and in the National Geographic 21st Annual Geography Bee.
  Arjun is an exceptional middle school student who participates in 
Oregon's Summa Program for gifted students. After winning the State of 
Oregon Geography Bee, Arjun represented Oregon in the National 
Geographic Bee, one of the most difficult in the nation. At the age of 
fourteen, Arjun topped 53 students from across the nation and earned 
second place and an accompanying college scholarship.
  I, therefore, again gladly extend my congratulations to Arjun and 
wish him a bright academic future and continued success in all his 
endeavors.
