                         Friday, July 28, 2006

  Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Rachel 
Sutterley, a student at the Stuart Pepper Middle School in Brandenburg, 
Kentucky, for her recent participation and high achievement in the 
National You Be the Chemist Challenge (YBTCC). Rachel took second place 
in the completion, held last month at the Chemical Heritage Foundation 
headquarters in Philadelphia.
  The YBTCC competition partners chemical companies with local schools 
to sponsor competitions and provide instructional materials to 
supplement science and chemistry curriculum. The competition is open to 
6th, 7th, and 8th grade students throughout the country. Rachel and six 
other competitors earned the right to represent their schools in 
Philadelphia after passing initial qualifying tests and winning local 
competitions.
  The YBTCC competition was divided into rounds where each student was 
asked a series of multiple choice questions. Rachel made it to the 
final round with a perfect score, answering difficult questions 
covering general chemistry, scientific history, biochemistry, nuclear 
chemistry, physics and math.
  Rachel demonstrated great academic prowess and sportsmanship before a 
national audience, representing competitive values that make Kentucky 
proud.
  I ask my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to join me 
in congratulating Rachel Sutterley for her achievement and in wishing 
her continued success in her promising future years.
