 RECOGNIZING PARTICIPANTS IN THE 2018 INTEL INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE AND 
                            ENGINEERING FAIR

  (Mr. YOHO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YOHO. Mr. Speaker, I am excited to have this opportunity to 
recognize and congratulate three exceptional students in my district 
who placed in the top five for their project categories at the 2018 
Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. This competition is 
the largest precollegiate science fair in the world and is comprised of 
students from more than 75 countries who come together to compete and 
share their research with others in their STEM community.
  Himanshi Verma, from Eastside High School, received the fourth place 
award in the biomedical and health sciences category; Gianfranco 
Cortes-Arroyo, from West Port High School, received the third place 
award in the mathematics category; and Evan Collins, one of my former 
district interns and a student at Ridgeview High, received the third 
place award in earth and environmental sciences category.
  STEM education is vital to the advancement of American society, and I 
am proud to represent students who will lead their generation in 
innovation and expertise.
  Congratulations again to Himanshi, Gianfranco, and Evan, and I wish 
you all the best in your future endeavors.
