                         HON. DAVID G. REICHERT

                             of washington

                       Thursday, February 4, 2010

  Mr. REICHERT. Madam Speaker, today I rise to speak about a young man 
in the Eighth Congressional District who earned recognition as a 
semifinalist in this year's Intel Science Talent Search.
  Intel's Science Talent Search is our country's oldest and most 
prestigious pre-college science competition, and attracts some of the 
brightest students across the nation. Intel provides each semifinalist 
with a $1,000 award and does the same for each individual school 
represented.
  William Edwards, a student at Bonney Lake High School and a resident 
of Lake Tapps, WA, earned his place on this prestigious list along with 
299 other innovative and inventive minds from around our Nation. It is 
a thrill to congratulate a hard-working and intelligent young man, 
William, for standing alongside the best our Nation has to offer in the 
fields of math, science and technology. William serves as an example of 
excellence, and encourages a spirit of curiosity and innovation that we 
must continue to foster among young people across this great nation.
  The competition encourages students to tackle the challenging 
scientific questions of both the present and the future. I thank Intel 
for its leadership in this endeavor and congratulate their success in 
this annual competition.
