              CLARK COUNTY VICTORY IN NEVADA SCIENCE BOWL

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate Clark High 
School for its victory in the 13th Annual Nevada Regional Science Bowl. 
In fact, this is Clark High School's second consecutive victory in this 
competition.
  I commend the students on this year's Clark High School team--Young 
Ran, Alex Cerjanic, Yung Wang, and Ryan Weicker--for their hard work 
and commitment to academic excellence. I would want to recognize their 
coach, Beth Issacs, for her instruction and strong leadership of the 
team.
  This past February, 32 student teams from across Nevada participated 
in the Nevada Regional Science Bowl. The Clark High School team 
performed exceptionally well and earned the honor to represent Nevada 
in the National Science Bowl. The team's success not only demonstrates 
the benefits of hard work and diligent study, but also reflects well on 
the students, faculty, and administrators of Clark High School.
  The Department of Energy's National Science Bowl began in 1991 as 
part of a national initiative to encourage America's students to excel 
in mathematics and science. Teams of four or five students coached by a 
teacher must demonstrate their knowledge by answering questions related 
to various scientific fields. Over the past 13 years, thousands of 
students have participated in this competition and have demonstrated 
the great potential of our Nation's youth.
  Please join me in congratulating Clark High School for its commitment 
to academic excellence and victory in the Nevada Regional Science Bowl.
