  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to commend Matt 
Linwong, a freshman at Mt. Vernon Township High School in Mt. Vernon, 
IL, for his academic achievement.

He recently scored a perfect 800 in English on the SAT and a near 
perfect 750 in math.
  As a result, Matt has been accepted to the Illinois Math and Science 
Academy in Aurora, IL, which is a school for 10th-12th grade Illinois 
students who excel in mathematics and science. I want to wish Matt the 
best as he begins this new chapter in his life. He is an amazing young 
student who I know will go far and do great things.
