  Mr. LaMALFA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
University Preparatory School from Redding for winning first place in 
the 2014 Regional Science Bowl competition.
  The National Science Bowl is an annual competition sponsored by the 
U.S. Department of Energy that brings together some of the best and 
brightest students from across our country. Teams compete in a face-off 
competition featuring questions on a range of science disciplines 
including biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, energy, and math. 
The event, while very competitive, also promotes and encourages 
discovery, innovation, and teamwork and a commitment to bettering our 
Nation's future.
  We are very proud of all the north State teams that competed against 
dozens of California high schools for a chance to represent California 
at the National Science Bowl. Their interest and diligent studies in 
math and science are a testament to the outstanding work from our 
students, educators, and parents across our region.
  Best of luck to Bond, Tyler, Nathan, Kay, and Colleen, who will be 
traveling to Washington, D.C., next month to compete against teams from 
across the country in the National Science Bowl. I know you will make 
us proud. Good luck.
