                         Tuesday, June 8, 2010

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Lucy Chen, of 
Ames, Iowa, who is among the outstanding U.S. high school students 
selected to attend the annual Research Science Institute sponsored by 
the Center for Excellence of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute 
of Technology (MIT).
  The mission of the Center for Excellence of Technology 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. Lucy was selected for this program upon scoring in the 
upper one-percent of U.S. student PSAT exam scores. From June to July 
2010, Lucy will learn from distinguished professors and conduct a 
research project at MIT.
  I commend Lucy for her commitment to academic achievement and 
leadership in science and technology. She is a future leader of this 
country of whom Iowa is very proud. I am honored to represent Lucy and 
her family in the United States Congress and I wish her the best in her 
future endeavors.
