    CONGRATULATIONS, WAYZATA HIGH SCHOOL NATIONAL SCIENCE BOWL TEAM

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate two Wayzata 
High School National Science Bowl teams for winning first and second 
place at the 2014 regional competition. These teams of dedicated 
students competed against dozens of neighboring high schools for a 
chance to represent Minnesota at the Department of Energy's National 
Science Bowl.
  More than 225,000 students, Mr. Speaker, participated in the National 
Science Bowl since it first was established in 1991. The top 16 high 
school teams in the national finals will win $1,000 for their schools' 
science departments.
  The winning team of Amanda, Joseph, Jayant, William, Orien, and 
Nathan will now head to Washington, D.C., in April to compete against 
other high school teams from across the country in the fields of 
biology, chemistry, physics, and math.
  I want to congratulate all of the teams in Minnesota and encourage 
everyone to keep up the great work studying science and math.
