                    IN RECOGNITION OF JULIENNE SAUER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ERIC SWALWELL

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 4, 2013

  Mr. SWALWELL of California. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate 
Julienne Sauer, of San Ramon, California. Fourteen-year-old Julienne 
recently was awarded second place in the science category of the 
Broadcom MASTERS 2013 National Science Fair.
  The Broadcom MASTERS National Science Fair challenges sixth, seventh, 
and eighth grade scientists to explore STEM experiments and projects. 
Julienne was selected as one of thirty finalists from thousands of 
nominees by a panel of distinguished scientists and engineers.
  Julienne's project was titled Quantum Locking: The Future of 
Frictionless Motion. She tested two different types of superconductors 
to explore which produced a magnetic field that would support the most 
weight. Scientists today are using this type of research to determine 
how to use frictionless motion to propel high speed rail and other 
projects. It is important that young scientists like Julienne have 
opportunities to pursue their passions.
  I applaud Julienne's success. Her achievement, especially at such a 
young age, is remarkable. She is an inspiration and should serve as a 
role model for other young students looking to pursue a STEM education 
around the country. I offer Julienne my heartfelt congratulations, and 
I wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.
